The wife and I have been searching for a travel trailer to replace our 27ft er. Smaller, lighter, and without the extra beds that ours had. We thought we had found the perfect unit, a Fun Finder 21 ft. Saw it online, looked at the pics, called and talked to the owners, and made the 2 1/2 hour drive to check it out. We had set up a time and told them if it checked out, and was as nice as it sounded, we would make a deal on the spot and take it home.
We arrived at the home to see they had a yard sale in full swing, all the items laid out in front of the trailer. Even at that distance, I could see there were problems. It only got worse as we walked over to see the inside. It was no where near as described. Dirty, full of personal belongings that weren't in the photos, water damage to the roof that went down the wall nearly to the floor. There was no electricity to the unit, no water, so no way to verify the operation of the refrigerator. The owner said they had taken it camping, and hadn't had time to clean it out, but when pressed, he admitted it was over a year ago. He had a case of Sika sealer he was going to "give" me, and said it was due for a resealing. Roof was leaking no kidding.
Needless to say, we didn't buy it. This was the second unit in a row, that had a leaking roof. As a flooring contractor, I have a moisture meter, and though in this case the leak was obvious, having it was invaluable.
If we can find another Fun Finder 21 ft model, we'd love to have one, tons of storage, nice layout, and my wife loved the white interior and stainless steel. But, for now, we are still looking. Great site here by the way!
