So now, back to the drawing board. Kijiji for trucks. We had viewed several trucks and definitely this time around, found that used truck dealers or private dealers were not always up front about the details. We saw one we liked and took it to the car service department to have checked out. Our experience in buying used vehicles, we know that this is a must before dishing out the cash. This particular truck passed with flying colours, however, it was done at the local service department and they seemed to know the owners quite well. We decided to think it over as we didn't feel right about the owners. We also decided to do the Carfax on this vehicle just to be sure. Turns out, it was originally written off and the owner rebuilt it. You can guess what we decided on this vehicle.
Then, we received an unexpected email from the 5th Wheeler owner we just bought from. He mentioned that on the evening he used 'our' camper for one final camping weekend, he was at a pig-roast. He was chatting with a guy and told him that he sold his camper. The other guy chuckled and said, 'do they need a truck'.......the rest is history. The owner of the truck is a safety inspection officer with some big companies out West, so he was maticulous with this vehicle and we felt very 'safe' about his keeping this truck safe. It was also a full cab which we required with a child and he pulls a 5th Wheel far bigger than ours with it, so we were very happy to purchase from another honest individual. So, we'd like to thank the pig for sacrificing his life for our betterment ;-) Since both the trailer and truck were purchased from the same town, we've decided not to visit that town anytime soon, as it became a very expensive place to visit ;-)
