New owner of an (old!) Fiberstream!!

[gailanneM]

The Fiber Streams are growing on me -- I looked for a casita or scamp, as that was all I was familiar with...but now as I look at the FS's folks have restored & fixed up, I am really impressed & wanting/hoping to do something equally nice & befitting of their vintage appearance!

I guess I will just take it one task at a time & try to learn as much as I can, from other folks, as I go - and try not to make too many irreversible & costly mistakes.....

The seller wrote LATE last nite & wants to back out of the sale; the report from the inspection was not as good as he expected & he is "too busy" to get the FS road worthy to tow to redding.
All this in response (finally!) to my confirmation email and less than 12 hours before I was to have left to meet him up in redding!
He said he is open to other options/solutions.
But what?

I am just feeling sucker-punched by this guy.

sad & sick about it,

That's awful!

I don't blame you for feeling sucker-punched...do you s'pose there's more to the story or is it just that he doesn't want to make the drive????

I'm with Francesca, the seller backing out may be good news for you. Perhaps he was told that it wasn't safe for the tow or feared that you would back out when you saw the condition.....

As I have oft mentioned, we drove 350 miles one day to buy a SCAMP only to have the seller sell it our from under us when we were 10 minutes from his house.

One of my basic rules in buying: Good ones don't last long, they usually sell within a few days or are either overpriced or Junque. I think that one was for sale for about a month before you got in line for it.

And BTW: Always buy the very best you can afford, fixers are very expensive if you can't do all your own work.

Walk away and be happy, and ferget any deals he offers.....

Good Luck and look here: at least twice a day:

as mention in another thread the photos indicate this is the same trailer that has been on and off the market more than once in the last year or so and each time was on the market for awhile .... something doesnt seem right about it.
