Would you have any pictures or detailed information on what happened causing the minor aesthetics as you put it.. thanks.

The previous owner backed up into something and the storage rack on the back caused a little damage to the fiberglass. There was no structural damage to frame. I don’t have any before pics but I attached a couple after pics.

 

[Suregrip391]

It’s very easy to look up pictures of the “before” damage online….if you were lied to when you purchased this, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. Either way, if the trailer tracks well and the axles are not bent from the frame damage this sustained, it’s still worth it.

If you know more than letting on, just please be honest with a buyer.

 

[Adamsgr]

I’m not trying to hide anything. I started off by being upfront about the damage and reconstructed title. I provided more explanation when you asked. I had a precessional tow the camper to its current location and they said it towed like a dream and didn’t even know it was back there. The price reflects the reconstructed title and I’m willing to negotiate on price to anyone who wants to look at it. I’m just a fellow camper who would like to see this desirable model go to a good home. I wasn’t concerned about the damage when I purchased it so I didn’t think of asking for before pics so I’m not sure how “easy” it would be to get before pics. And of course, I’ll be honest with any prospective buyers.

 

[Suregrip391]

Would you like me to post the pictures? I found them in less than a minute. That’s how easy it is, that’s what I was saying.

 

[Adamsgr]

Sure. I’m curious myself now. I guess it’s easy if you know where to look.

 

[Suregrip391]

Sure, I appreciate you saying so and tells me and others you may not have known.

 

[Suregrip391]

Like I said, it’s still a good price just any buyer should know it had frame damage.

I have a 2020 5.0TA with similar rear damage that happened in 2022 on our first outing since ownership. I had the bumper professionally repaired and a small fist sized hole in the fiberglass fixed by a fiberglass specialist when the spare tire hit it. I have a rebuilt title on mine as well because during Covid insurance did not want to do anything, it was easier for them to write stuff off the adjuster said. It was an easy fix! Been enjoying it ever since with no axle damage or odd tire wear. It’s 2025 with the original Ranier tires still. Your price is good! I would not want to let mine go for that.

 

[Adamsgr]

Wow! This might not sound genuine but I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. I was not given all the information when I bought this. I was only told about the minor damage in the back. I will say that the front hitch repair was a damn good job because I wouldn’t have known. But I don’t want to intentionally mislead anyone.

I will tweek the description and reconsider price. I am really not trying to screw anyone over, but it appears that I might have been.

The interior is in good shape and it was a comfortable camper for me so I have no regrets.

Thanks!

i didn’t see your additional comment until now. Thanks for the additional information and your opinion about the price and title. Considering how much the new models can be now, I agree that it is still a good price. I’m still willing to negotiate though. I love the camper and I would keep it if could but it’s time to sell.

 

[Suregrip391]

I am very sorry to hear the person you bought it from did not disclose this to you. Was it a member here? Being a rebuilt title, As long as everything works, tows good, and no axle damage & repairs were done well, I would not hesitate to purchase this. Great opportunity for someone here! Speaking from experience.

 

[Adamsgr]

Thank you! I did not buy from an Escape forum member. But yeah, they did not disclose all the information.
