Do you think its ok to buy?

That is the million dollar question. Pictures really do not tell the story. The only way to know is to do a hands on inspection.

See THIS link then check out the top two threads to learn what to look for.

What is your total budget? $400 is just the start. Probable purchases include canvas, tires, propane tank, battery, power cable door, etc. Converter work? Take a good battery and multi-meter when you go. Make a list when you check it out and add all the cost up. I've seen campers sold that should have been "Givemes" or paid to have someone to take.

Hi WrkrBee...
Thank You Very Much for replying... The man said it has new tires. By the Pictures, can to tell about the Canvas.. in person it looks ok.. No rips just a couple* tiny* tiny* holes, I'm sure I*can repair.. I have the propane tank .
I'm too new at this even to know why it needs a battery lol... it doesn't have a motor its small and I can just pull it. I'll ask about the converter (?) I'm sorry I don't know very much at all.. im starting right at the beginning*
I appreciate you writing back and helping me ... it gives me more things to research on the internet ... Also, the man said that he can, bring it to my house.. ( I don't have s hitch yet).
So, I'm assuming* its at least ok to transport...

That is correct that pictures do not tell the story making a purchase. I must have read your post wrong. Pictures help these guys to know what you are describing making repairs. Sorry about the confusion.
