2013 Trailmanor 3124KS

[OC395-3124KS]

My wife and I are considering purchasing a 2013 Trailmanor 3124KS. We found one for sale at $9,900. It has cosmetic damage to the exterior paint (tarp rubbed on it while stored on the side of the house) but everything else is in good working order.

Is this a reasonable price to pay assuming the condition is as advertised?
J.D. Power has low retail listed at $5,350 and average retail listed at $6,400.

My tow vehicle is a low mileage (57,500) 2014 Ford F-150 Super Cab STX w/ 5.0L V-8. It has the towing package and trailer brake controller.

If this works out, it will be our first Trailmanor. Discovering this owner forum has been a wealth of knowledge and education. Thank you all for that.

Looking forward to being part of the community.

Hey Scott and Michelle,

My husband and I bought our first RV and TrailManor just last month. We do not have any buyers remorse. We have the 2025 2518KS and LOVE it! We cannot believe how much space is in side. We pull it with a Ford Edge SUV. (3,500 tow capacity)

Go for it!

I find Blue book-type valuation guides don't provide a realistic guide to what the market usually demands for Trailmanors. So you really should just browse what's available as close to 2013 as you can get get an idea of what things are worth. There typically isn't even much variation between models, especially as you get to older units. I haven't looked at the market in a few years, and inflation has gone up significantly in that time, but my not-current sense is that $10k for a 2013 seems like it would probably be a pretty good price. Or at the very least, certainly within the ballpark. Also note that prices on the west coast are typically a bit more than the east.

You don't show any pictures of the paint, but if it's really just some paint having rubbed off in a relatively small area, I wouldn't expect that to effect the value much.
