Hello Folks- Lots of great information on these forums.
I found what seems to be a good deal on a 5th wheel today (I just happened to spot it on my way to work) and wanted to get a feel as to wether this constitutes a "great deal" or just a so-so deal.
It is an Open Road 5th, 36.5 ft, 2004, used for 6 mos while the owner was building his house. (this is the three slideout). It is said to be in as-new condition (and I would expect so, given it's age).
He has an asking price of $33K and says that he paid $48K for it new in 2004.
I have not yet seen the inside of it yet (I will this weekend) so I don't yet know the exact model#. I do know from speaking with the owner that the only thing it seems NOT to have, is a gen set.
I am not too familiar with Open Road as a brand, so any inputs regarding known "trouble spots" or things specific to Open Road trailers that I should be extra critical of during my inspection, would be much appreciated as well.
Thanks!
Rob
