[VAC] Re: buying a'74 sovereign 31'



not on this trailer.

1. if it is a rear bath and the frame has not been braced then I would be
surprised if the rear (behind the rear axle), is not drooping, etc.
2.  you have too much rust.
3.  you have not said that you have hooked it up to water, electricity to find
out how those systems work.  whether you have filled the three tanks to see if
they leak or if the pumps work.  whether your gas system works. ad infin.

Where are the inspection sheets that came out in the VAC magazine?  which
website?

and so on.
from the way you have described it, you have too rough a model there and I doubt
that it is worth much more than about $2500.  back away from it and go back to
looking.  I saw on ebay today a 34', 94 model bidding at 15K with two days to
go.  not suggesting that but I would see what someone on this list has and wants
to get rid of.  at least you will know the condition and where to find them in
the future <G>

fwiw
