After consulting with my wife (listening mostly...) and talking with the kids I'm pretty sure that I'll be listing the truck and
bigfoot 5th wheel
for sale right away, I'll decide over the weekend. It is just too large for my needs and my yard, 95% of the time I will be camping alone and the other 5% it will be out with only 2 people.
So..here's the package... A 1989 Ford F150 extended cab with 175,000 kms on it in very good condition with brand new
tires (1500 kms on them). The truck has the 5th wheel and trailer package including a rear bumper hitch and an adapter harness which allows you to pull other trailers with it. It also has air, cruise, and tilt. It has just passed the "out of province inspection" with flying colours having only a exhaust manifold leak which I had repaired.
The trailer is a 1985
Bigfoot 20' 5th wheel single
axle with all the usual amenities. It is in pretty good shape and the
tires though old have good tread and no sign of cracking. It does require a new
battery. It could use new flooring as the carpet is pretty badly stained. The roof panel in the bathroom has rotted a bit around the vent sometime in the past, this vent has been recaulked up top and no longer
leaks. The toilet is new but the floor around it has no covering. (I'll put in some carpet before selling)
So, I was thinking of advertising the combination of truck and trailer for $9500.00 once I've done polishing the trailer up and cleaning it etc. Am I in the right ballpark with this price? Low? High?
