Salvage 2015 PALOMINO FOREST RIVER

[MSCH]

RH,

Just trying to learn about fifth wheel campers and came across this one. I didn't find the damage you identified; thanks for point it out.

Gon, you should be coming into a buyers market for RV's. all the sales lots are full, interest rates are climbing and I predict if you just keep looking a really nice used fifth wheel will come your way without you having to do anything but pay for it.

Maybe this is a special buy?

Here is another roof damaged fifth wheel trailer. 2021 MGM Genisis. No exterior pictures of the roof issues. Locates in Fontana, CA. Looks like this trailer has storage for toys in the back. And, no idea if one was to fix, how to convert a salvage RV title to rebuilt RV title, but speculation states in California not easy task.

Never saw an inside staircase on a RV before........

The last picture aint good.

Most if not all 5th wheels have stairs up to the front .

Toy hauler could be fun.

If you are going to live in it for a couple of years probably is best to buy something in excellent condition instead of fixer upper.

Just a update. The 2015 PALOMINO FOREST RIVER did sell at a Buy It Now price of $13,500, which means to leave the auction lot, minimum price with fees would be no less than $15,763.

I wouldn't even consider any RV built starting with the 2020 model year. They were building these things absolutely as fast as they could because of the pandemic. Plus, with supply chain issues, these RV manufacturers were buying any usable components that they could get their hands on... no matter how poor of quality they might have been.

Like 30 years ago I partially rebuilt an old travel trailer we had growing up. I basically removed all the external sheet metal, replaced a bunch of rotten wood and some interior paneling, and put it back together with new screws and lots of bonding caulk. I would do it again - if someone gave me the trailer. I wouldn't pay for one, or not much. I am sure there even worse built now. They all leak eventually, They all rot eventually. 100% of slide outs leak, usually sooner than later. Useful life is maybe 15 years at best - assuming its taken well care of - likely closer to 10.

If you really want to go camping with the grandson and want to stay anywhere other than a parking lot posing as a campground, you want something much, much smaller anyway.
