I'd ask the current owner to share the cost of inspection. If all is OK and you still don't buy it the owner will be able to get more with the approval.

Great idea! Also, next time you might try and hide a motion detector camera somewhere in hopes of capturing an image of the perps.

I think it looks cool. Try and find hail storms where you can giving the entire surface an expensive "hammered" loo.

I paid $3k for a barely livable 24' '74 Argosy, saw others in the same range in California. Trying to make an old trailer "original" is a fool's errand. Make it comfortable on your own terms.

I paid $3k for my unrestored 26' Argosy.
$22k seems very high. I think I can do my own work and put $5k into a restoration and have something this good or better.
