LINK???

That egg was doing the Humpty Dance a little too vigorously.

"Damaged - repairable". Yeah, maybe with a complete gut and rebuild. Bid at 4500 and reserve not met.

I love the phrase "we ran it through our shop". Having been involved in the sale of equipment, I know that means nothing at all. Just like the 100 point inspection, or everything has been "gone thru". The question always remains, did they fix anything?

[Ruth C.]

Maybe they literally "ran it through our shop"!

[Civilguy]

It looks more like someone ran it into the shop.

But, no rust!

I hope that whoever is at $4,500 and counting understands what they are dealing with. Having never done much with fiberglass, I can confidently say that damage is way beyond my abilities.

It also has a curved door, I thought the 2016 Independence had a flat door???

[Mary F]

Definitely a 16, even if this dealer says it measures to 17 ft.

Poor thing. Looks like it had quite a day.

You and me both, Mike! But if I could get it for a song (way less than their apparent reserve) and had the time, it might be cool to see if I could do it. A baptism by fire, if you will.

I've followed the thread on here where the U-Haul camper was badly smashed in the rear, and watched the owner's repair process with some measure of amazement.

In for a penny, in for a pound! I like it!

[J Ron]

Looks like a scam.

[Toddv78]

whoever bought this at this price is nuts the time involved and not having a clean title screws this thing up forever

[Jeanne D. in ca]

It does come with bubble levels and a microwave ready package for that price.

And a bent frame and all that fiberglass work. I suppose in a Casita you'd have to pull the insulation off of the inner walls to get to it. All of that adhesive to get off - shudder.

[Jon in AZ]

It is neither an Independence nor a Standard nor a 17'. The large middle side window indicates it's either a Spirit or Freedom model, the lack of a front window means a Deluxe, and, as noted, the curved door indicates a 16' model.

And I agree. A winning bid of $4750 seems high given the extent of the damage and the lifelong taint of a salvage title.
