sdboltdude Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 just picked up toy RV from a friend's grandpa (he thought his son and him could use it) son moved out of state..Grandpa is getting to old to drive himself...he paid $5,500. 8 weeks ago said its CLEAN! they came to me knowing how much i always wanted a Toy RV offered $3,000 . Went to check out RV (after reading up on this site great site!!) was really happy with what i saw 22re engine that was clean 59,000 orig miles seats and cushions are in good shape laid on bed comfy enough....and then the Cab over Rot..seperation on front windows and seam is sagging under cab.. knocked off a $1,000 offered $2,000 and they where more then happy to give me and brother a new project.. Brother already knows what he wants to do for fix/rebuild and not afraid of cabover I'm happy with RV so far cant wait to go on a quick trip to San Diego mountains I think the guy who sold it to grandpa was not very honest with damage.......

bufbooth Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Sorry to hear about the cab over, but for $2,000 it still sounds like you got a good deal. When you do your cab over repair you might have to prop up the cab bed area from the outside, when I did mine I had some last minute alignment problems, I just had to prop a couple 2x4 between the ground and the cab bed bottom to raise it an inch or two and then screwed everything back together.
