He's probably talking about the tracks for the support arms under the bed. There are guides that hold them in, sometimes they become cracked or warped. They're easy to replace and you can get the parts from the factory. Also all the washers & parts that keep the support arms affixed to the track need to properly spaced and adjusted. I'd ask him to be more specific.

If you make a list of all the things that need to be fixed and it's fairly long, this may help justify making a lower offer. How long has it been for sale?

A quick peek at the NADA guide shows a low retail value of about $4K, not that the NADA guides for used TrailManors are always representative of what good, clean used ones sell for. But it's something you can print out and show him.
