Howdy all,
We found a trailer locally and need to find more info on it. Mainly it's base weight. It's a 1997 Skyline Nomad Model 2750 Deluxe 28 ft. NADA states it may be 5400lbs. The barely readable tag stated 7700lbs GVWR. We'll never hit that. I also would like to find out about tongue weight, fresh water and waste tank sizes. It's got Goodyear Marathons all around. Very clean at 1st walk through. Hardly a smidge of rust outside. The owners are the campgroud where it sits. They tell me a couple owned it, divorced and sold it to the campground, who rented it out 3 times during the past 2 seasons. Doesn't seem to have any miles on it. It has a 13" color TV, microwave and regular oven, stereo, Dometic 2dr fridge, looks like a 20ft awning. If we can find out a few more details and confirm it's base weight, it is definately a thought for purchase. The wife liked it. They are asking $6000 for it. We have a Ford E350 SD regular 12 passenger van with tow package, 5.4L, 3.73 rear end. GCVR is 13,000lbs and it can tow 6900lbs. Now if the weight is right, it will be within 80% of tow weight. We travel light so I think we might be ok.
I sent an email to Skyline about the spec sheet and maybe a manual. Googled it with no direct hits. So if anyone may have or can direct me to the specs on this model, we'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance and have a happy July 4th.
