here in Oklahoma anything that is rusty and can be towed, including the drivers, are considered road worthy. LOL
Jim, I don't know how Texas handles them either, BUtttttt..... since the owner swore that it had never been rebuilt or wrecked and did not have any salvage title claims against it I knew something was very wrong with the deal. It was just what I was looking for to. Linda, Lady dog and I needed a vehicle to use in our high plains and Midwest searches for vintage campers to restore; it would have provided transportation, a place to stay.. mostly in kind farmers fields, and a tow vehicle for my trailer hauler. Too bad. I have yet to find another with the preferred layout and generator. Oh, DO beware of anything from Arkansas, no offense to our members there of course, but they don't note many major salvage issues, like vehicle submerged LOL; many, many hurricane cars and campers wind up there to be rebuild and mostly taken to Arizona to sell to unsuspecting folks.
I know this one is a few years old now, but the title thing intrigues me. While entirely possible, I find it hard to believe that it was totaled and reconstructed 3 times. It may just be the way TX deals with RVs - they start out as incomplete vehicles. If that's not the case, it could have been totaled and rebuilt in 1995 (the first record in the list) and then that rebuilt/salvage title followed it through every new registration. That's the way it is in NJ - the "R" (reconstructed) title follows it through its entire life. It doesn't mean it was reconditioned every time.
It looks like a good deal, and it's fiberglass. The fiberglass campers are always less maintenance and easier to repair. I guess you passed on it, it's almost 2015 and I haven't seen any postings of a replacement. That's sad about your other one. Did you build it? If you built it, it's always more meaningful.
Sorry to read of your disappointment on that RV Pat. I have had things like that happen too as many of us had. But I always remember what my dad used to tell me. he said "Never worry about what you did not get to buy because you still got your money! Worry about what you did buy because it may cost you a lot more". There is a reason for everything and I bet something better will come along and you will be glad ya waited! Rick
