The solar panels have some discolored cells(possibly broken or shorted), might need attention. As for the solar wiring dropping out of the headliner: no its not factory or aesthetically pleasing but there are some people who have had problems with the wiring that runs behind the lift panels, with the straight drop you shouldn't have an issue. Looks like the installer wasn't overly generous with the wire size either. Other than that and the jacks as mentioned, appears to be a fair deal from what the pics show.

Ya I think you guys are right.  The seller is willing to negotiate on price, but even if I was able to lower the price substantially I would be assuming quite a bit of risk.  Ahhhh, I guess I will keep looking.  I am really not a big fan of the hole coming out of the ceiling.  If that is any indication of the work that has been done, it is probably pretty questionable.

Hey,

I'm a new member here and came across this thread while researching this exact Grandby. Seems it is still for sale and I'm about 6 hours away. The salesman told me that someone had a deposit on it and was supposed to pick it up today but it fell through. This makes me a little hesitant. I'm waiting to hear back from him to answer some of my questions. Do you all think it is worth a 6 hour drive to check it out? I appreciate the help!

Thanks!

I wonder if the jack brackets may have been added by an owner rather than at the factory.

 

This is the time a look see by someone you could trust who lives near the camper might be very helpful.

 

Where is it located ?

I think it is worth the drive and would do it myself if I were looking for a Grandby.  Getting a solid used camper at a decent price is always going to be a challenge and folks really tend to hold onto them for a long time.

This looks to be sold by an RV dealer.
I would be very suspect of anything they say and I would verify everything in person.
You should be able to negotiate a much better deal than asking price particularly if it has been sitting as long as it has.....

I had reached out to the RV dealer asking more questions but never heard anything. I checked their website and it no longer is showing up, I would assume it has been sold now. It was located in North Carolina.

I was just there not long ago (5 days maybe) and they had told me they took a deposit on the camper and someone was coming from a ways away to pick it up. Regardless the dealership was awesome and everyone was super nice. I wouldn't hesitate doing business with them. I should've checked out that camper while I was there but since it was spoken for I didn't.
