Ever bought a FEMA trailer?

Most of the ones I've seen are in pretty rough shape and the auctions want too much for them. Keep ya eyes on classified ads and stuff and you can usually run up on a helluva deal. Plus it'll be a lot nicer than a FEMA trailer

Most of them are crap, but every once in a while you can run across a deal. You just have to keep an eye open and be patient.

Problem was they stuck them out there straightnout of the factory. Of course that smell would bother you.

Henderson sells good.ones. remember they have no holding tanks - plain white ones. The.ones with the bottom pin stripe had them. They go several hundred fmore

Saw some reql good deals at an auction last year. 4000 for.fancier name brands, 28-30 foot.trailers.

me and ms geauxt appreciate it.. y'all are good people... i ain't wrecked your tractor yet, could you put some glass in the trailer windows this year, skeeters are gonna be rough on the wineaux..

How bout them Tigers

if i told you how i felt they looked and how much energy they seem to be putting in to it, i would probly be banned.. i will say, looks like batting practice has been non existent..

I had to go thru about 15 before I found a good one that didn't have any problems or leaks. Paid $3200 ans it is used as a camp. The one I have is 40'.

I bought a 32' model from a friend and paid $2300. The formaldahyde deal was just a BS story dreamed up by lawyers. Your house has more in it than a FEMA trailer. Any FEMA trailer you find will have some issues. Mine had one soft spot on the floor. You need to check the floors and walls real good for soft spots. They aren't hard to repair, but its very common. The roof needs to be resealed every 6 months and most of them were never done so that is where your leaking water comes from. Reseal it as soon as you get it and I'd build a cover over it. We knocked out the wall between the living room and front bedroom and turned the bed 90 degrees and it really open the room up a bunch. Not hard to do and only took a couple of hours. We also tore out the couch and replaced it with a fouton that was more comfortable and gave another bed. You can also replace the water heater with a tankless model and that is a big improvement over the 10 gallon tank that comes in the trailer.

Thanks for the info. I think it's all we need for a camp.

I bought one from Henderson Auctions that was brand new, gonna use it for a camp. If you find one you like, be damm sure to look it over from frony to back, there are some crap ones out there so be careful.
