Caveat...Well, what could we do about the mattress? Caveat emptor. We should have examined everything more closely, and will if we ever buy another. But we really didn't know what we were doing or what to look for. By the time we get everything repaired on this one, I think we will know what things need a close inspection before buying. And yes, it is a lot like buying a house. Lots of little things that need repair that didn't show on the surface.<br /><br />And about the cashier's check, I do understand having to jump through hoops to please loan companies. That wasn't really just a whim of the seller, and she drove down here so I was just out a little time.Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759049156534654631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601681386361026179.post-83007183232323149152015-08-18T10:20:49.175-05:002015-08-18T10:20:49.175-05:00By the time we get it on the road, I hope it will ...By the time we get it on the road, I hope it will be just the way we want it.

I doubt I'd be very good at it though - too introverted.<br /><br />Yes, Buddy has investigated the trailer, but very hesitantly and when the a/c came on, he bolted out like a shot. He's not big on confined spaces. I doubt we'll ever have to worry about him being a stowaway. However, a lady came over to buy some pond plants last week and he jumped right into her van. Hubby had to drag him out. I don't know what it was about her van but I'd like to use it when taking him to the vet.Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759049156534654631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601681386361026179.post-50744092490660293662015-08-18T10:09:53.739-05:002015-08-18T10:09:53.739-05:00Oh yeah, lots of fun.

Especially when they called and asked for you to make different payment arrangements. It does sound like buying a used camper is pretty similar to buying a house. You don't find all the little things that have to be fixed until you move into it. Hopefully there won't be any more surprises.

Having that bed cabinet right over my head would keep me from sleeping I think.<br /><br />No, the screened room doesn't have a door, but it has a zipper opening. I wondered if we could put those magnetic screen doors in it though. Either way, I thinkk we are really going to like it, especially if we want to sit out and visit with people. There really isn't room inside for more than 2 or 3 people.Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759049156534654631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601681386361026179.post-43031965419291663882015-08-16T18:30:40.523-05:002015-08-16T18:30:40.523-05:00I'm glad too.

But definitely check both sides of the mattress before you buy one. The fact that it even had a sheet on it should have sent up warning flags to us. I hope you find a good one.Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759049156534654631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601681386361026179.post-41734613467092896602015-08-16T17:00:56.022-05:002015-08-16T17:00:56.022-05:00Holy Cow ~ What a story.
