FAQ’s:
Does it leak? No. Roof was sealed September, 2017. It does not leak currently. Evidence of previous leaks includes darkened wood spots over toilet, under sofa window, and inside a couple upper cabinets. The roof is seamed sheet metal, so vigilance is key.
How does it tow? Dreamy. Tows smoothly behind pickup truck with integrated brake controller. Recent trip included sustained speeds of 65-70MPH. Sway control is recommended and included in this auction.
