well a little back story to start with, i found this camper on craigs list for sale or trade, it didnt look to bad so i decided to offer my harley sportster up for trade since im buying a bigger bike anyway we might as well get something the whole family can enjoy, and im getting a little tired of sleeping on the ground when we go camping. after a 4hr drive we pull up at our destination i give the camper a good once over doesnt look to bad opend some cabinets checked for watter damage and outside of one spot near the front that the wall showed a sign of once getting wet but was still solid it didnt look to bad, it needs some cleaning and a power washer to the outside but overall seemed like a fair deal. it was raining preaty good and i couldnt find any water leaking in i unload my bike fire it up the guy takes it for a quick ride. around the block and we make a deal. half way home we stop at mc donalds and im looking out the window and the back of the camper looks a little funny not sitting quite right didnt think much of it till i got home and start pulling rugs out and testing the water heater ect. i open the compartment and notice the floor is soft by the water heater and the more i dug the worse it got looking at the back and discoverd that it must not of been winterized properly at one time because the plumbing to the water tank, pump and water heater all had been replaced still had menards stickers on the pipes and some one did a horrible patch job the main board across the back at the floor was compleatly rotted away along with the one from the back driverside corner to the wheel wells. i feel i got screwed a bit on the deal but life goes on ill call it a learning experience and get on with the repairs ive been takeing photos as i go and will be updating as work progresses
