Perpetual Ruminations

Offer Made!

Yesterday I wrote about making an offer on a pull behind camper. A person my wife works with is selling it and informed us it needs some work inside. So, we were going to figure out a time to go look at it and make her an offer, as she had asked. From the outside, which I have seen, I was thinking maybe offering around one thousand and no more than two thousand, since that's about all we can afford currently.

Last night my wife came home from work and informed me that she had talked to the person about us looking at it. She said that when her husband and her had bought it, it needed some work in the bathroom and a good cleaning, possibly some minor work here and there. But, she had let her kids play in it, and now it also has some water damage. She doesn't know how severe, but said she would sell it as is for five hundred dollars!

She made an offer I would have a very difficult time turning down, even without looking at it. It looks very likely that we will be purchasing a pull-behind very soon! I still want to look and see how sever the water damage is and what it will take to use it. From what I understand, the damage is mostly cosmetic and it could be used as is. If that's the case, we will possibly be selling both the HiLo and the pop-up. We have talked, however, of setting the HiLo up on a relatives land and using it like a park model camper and continuing the repairs over time.
