roof problems from a leaky roof

Good luck
Thanks. There was a torrential rain a day before we looked at it and we didn't see anything leaking but we will check it out. In reviews, I'm seeing that the service person is really good about going over the trailer with the buyers. I sure don't want to get something my husband has to work on! He/we commercial fish during the summer and winter is NOT for more work.

When you do find out more about this trailer please do share. I'm curious about this model as it looks so much like the model I was considering except for the few differences already noted. The pantry by the stove would had made my choice much easier. I use the TV shelf as a mini pantry which works for camping for one but I would welcome more storage that the actual pantry provides.

In my opinion the $12,995 sale price is on the high side for a 2011 year model. Buying an RV is like buying a car - It's make a deal. Try to get the best deal possible that you think is fair before puling the trigger on.

Will do. We will probably go down there early next week if it's still available and I'll get more info.

We have Wildwood X-lite

JCO: We have a 2014 Wildwood X-lite FS 185RB that we bought new last April. Below is our exact model on sale in TX. They list the price as on sale for almost $11,000, down from over $16,000. I know that different areas of the country vary widely. We live in Pennsylvania and paid slightly over $10,000 for ours new. The pantry is the 2 tall cabinets with one shelf each next to the stove. The bathroom door and wall is angled between the wardrobe and the pantry. We've only had our TT for a short time, but we haven't had any problems and are enjoying it so far. It's very easy to tow.

I know yours is a different year and model, but maybe there are similarities. Hope this helps.
