Need advice buying a vintage Automate TT

[Del_Tyree]

Hi names Del I'm new to this forum. I'm from Bodega Bay Ca

I need some buying tips when it comes to a vintage travel made by Automate. I've never heard of this brand before.

I have seen the outside of the trailer through a cyclone fence and this thing is super clean and extremely long over 30'. It has 3 long windows on the left side looking from the rear. I took some pictures as it was getting dark but cannot load them on this sight. I will be seeing the inside tomorrow and need to know what to look for when it comes to these automate trailers.

Are parts for appliances hard to get? How do I know if the roof is good or not? Where to look for water damage? Is there something I should know about Automate?

It's probably built in the 80's or 70's I will know more tomorrow when I go see it.

Thanks y'all for your help and hopefully I end up buying it!

Sorry but not “vintage” to me. Just old. Inspect carefully unless you want a huge project.

Check tincantourists.com, maybe they have some helpful information.

If you're not familiar with RV's, you may want to hire a Mobile RV Tech to do an inspection.

Appliances should be standard, same as other RV's. Try everything to see if it works.
Water intrusion is a big concern for any RV.
