    13' Terry 1971 Trailer - Should I?

    Thank you and will take a look on the tires. I did get the VIN number but I am having a hard time running it.  So far no records found.  I have been trying the free sites like dmv.org and edmunds but to no avail.  Maybe the seller typed it in wrong?  It is only 10 characters/numbers long.  Is...

    13' Terry 1971 Trailer - Should I?

    Hi Marsha, How much would it cost to replace the tires approximately?  It only has the one axle.  Thinking that might be a good thing to not worry about while we are traveling if at all possible. Gari

    13' Terry 1971 Trailer - Should I?

    These are great pics almost identical to the trailer I am looking at: http://www.campingworld.com/rvsales/Travel-Trailers/1971/Terry-Terry/199221/ The local CampingWorld says they will do a 46 point inspection for me but it will cost $229.  Is that worth doing? I was also told with the VIN...

    13' Terry 1971 Trailer - Should I?

    p.s. How can I check for water damage?  I opened all cabinets and closest so look for discoloration or recent paint and see none, nor on the ceiling.  However, I cannot get on the roof as there is no ladder.  Is a ladder something I will want to get for this should I purchase it?  There are no...

    13' Terry 1971 Trailer - Should I?

    thx gtsport! couple of questions: 1. there is rust all over the frame BUT it looks like it is due to maybe salt on the roads and is not extensive at all nor does it cover particular areas of damage.  i can see no damage at all underneath.  however, should this light coating of rust be a...

    13' Terry 1971 Trailer - Should I?

    I went to see a 13' Terry 1971 Camper Trailer today and they will not take less than $1100 for it.  I initially posted that this was a Viking but I think I may have confused this with another trailer I was reading about.  Not sure. It seems to be in very good condition but I am not dealing with...

    fulltime newbie questions

    Thank you Lou!  This is fantastic and really what I am looking for - not for all the time but maybe about 1/2 so it is great to know it is available and especially since NM will be my primary home.  I was really hoping to avoid having to buy any land, especially in the beginning and then of...

    Residency, mail, and a physical address

    Thanks Jeff!  I hope NM doesn't have special requirements and I can't see how they can as  I lived off grid here in NM as do a bunch of folks still and we had no utilities nor a mailing address as the area was not maintained by and govt facility, including roads which were just dirt and I filed...
