maggie blair Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 I am looking to buy a new RV and am interested in a 2008 holiday rambler vacationer diesel. Has anyone owned one of those or know anything about them? The only issue I can see is that the floor underneath the slide out is rotting out. The owner said he had never had a leak he was quite shocked when I pointed out the floor was coming loose underneath. Does anyone know if this would be an expensive fix? There is also daylight coming in under the slide in the master bedroom and I crawled under that and could see where a gasket has come loose under there. I don't think that would be too difficult to fix. If anyone has any information on this model or the fix in the floor please let me know. Thanks in advance for all of your help.

bruce t Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 For the right price everything can be fixed. If the floor plan is what your are after simply do the sums. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 It could probably be repaired, but I would want an estimate of repair costs from a reputable shop that is willing to do & guarantee the work before I put any money into the RV. If you haven't done so, check the prices out with NADA also. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

sandsys Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 I have visions of having to remove the slide to fix the floor then reinstall the slide with new gaskets then hope the problem wasn't caused by windows sweating with the water running down the wall. Um. No, thanks.

"The owner said he had never had a leak he was quite shocked when I pointed out the floor was coming loose underneath." I wonder what else that will be found, that the owner is "quite shocked about", when a thorough inspection is done!

artywoof Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Depends on how much money you are willing to put into the unit. If its like a restoration project then you should expect those kind of things. I have thought of an old Airstream and those often have floor issues in the bathrooms. That kind of thing you budget for. If your just looking for a used RV then make sure you do like Kirk suggested and get and estimate, maybe two on the fixes. And get an inspector to check out the systems before you buy. https://nrvia.org/locate Hi, Tim here I'm an Xscaper Planning for FT September 2017. Currently in Austin TX.
