Talked about finding a camper to park at a campground central to where we’ve been going 2hrs south every weekend since February to help save some money vs the $800-1200 additional monthly funds for hotels and eating out every weekend every month. Buddy called me about this 2005 coachman spirit of america a gal that just broke up with boyfriend d was selling. She came into money, went nuts, now single and $100k in debt so fire sale everything. Said she wanted $4-5,000. Wife and I drove out to look at it, her thing, "as long as it don’t stink"
Gal bought it last spring for $11,000 from dealer (paperwork still in rv), used it 1 time, then parked it on mom’s farm, next to bean feild, left all dry good food and 2 bags of dog food inside, along with 2 huge bags of mothball that had spelled out and crushed into carpet and walked on/ground in. To say it about knocked you out opening the door is understatement..bad as I’ve ever smelled. She said no, and ran to truck lol. Buddy called to see what I thought, told him $3600 is most I’d give, got to buy it right to make it right vs just buying one for what I may end up putting back into it. Long story short, she took it and buddy towed it home for me.
