Re: Rusty Bottom!
Having made the same mistake myself, i'd say you're wise to walk away. What I bought as a usable camper turned out to be a project. On the plus side my welding skills are improving.

Re: Rusty Bottom!
It sounds like the vendor hasn't realised how bad it is and has spent too much on the mechanicals and a lot of folk fall into this trap.

Re: Rusty Bottom!
Thanks NKC - yes I had a look at that one earlier looks nice. I suppose there are very few "bargains" out there...although it is easy to let your eyes light up wen you see something for under £3K
