What year? How extensive is the damage? Sounds like the previous owner purposely concealed the damage...

Real sorry to hear about your trailer. I would be giving the seller a call and asking him to make it right. Good luck.
Happy RVing,
Jeff

A liar, thief and cheat are all equal in my book.
Concealing damage and sub par repair like that is dishonest in my book.

Was this a salvage title?
How in the world would anyone repair damage in such a way?

A dealer?
Oh boy.
I was mad before. Now I'm furious.
Gotta be some legal recourse.

I would contact the seller as this is a classic case of fraud. The damage was clearly concealed in an attempt to deceive. How did you pay for this trailer if you don't mind me asking?

Nulook45- I totally agree with Vaquero, legal recourse and pressure on the dealer for misrepresentation on the sale. Did they reveal any of this before you signed to buy?
Another option might be to contact Trailer Life magazine about this issue. They have a section called RV Resolutions where you state your situation and they jump in to contact the dealer. Here's what they want from you:
Send a typed letter to Trailer Life RV Resolutions, 2750 Park View Court, Suite 240, Oxnard California 93036. Include copies of any appropriate paperwork and all correspondence (written or phone) as well as a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
Maybe they will go to bat for you and directly contact Mid Ohio RV to get some resolution and help for you with that unscrupulous dealer in Hebron, Ohio.
Good luck and keep us posted how this all turns out for you and your bride.
Happy RVing,
Jeff

My first trailer we had was a 2002 Prowler we brought from a guy in 2010. Told us the trailer was in excellent shape. We looked it over and were happy. Got the trailer home and started cleaning it. Thought the floor back near the bathroom was sort of springy, but didn't think much of it. (It was our first trailer).
Couple months later I was doing something and needed to get into one of the cabinets under the sink. 1st thing I noticed was a different color of vinyl and it was a little lower than the rest of the floor outside the cabinet. Started to investigate. Floor had the 1 foot square vinyl on the floor. So I peeled up a couple back near the bathroom where it was spongy. Found black mold. It was wet. I called the person that sold us the trailer and he said it was fine when he had it. (I knew better) Then he said, we brought it as is and there was nothing he could do.
Fortunately, not too long after that, I ha d a rear tire blow and it really ripped the floor apart. (This was before I had my TPMS). Insurance company totaled the trailer. (gave me more than I paid for it). NEVER brought a used trailer after that. Always brought new.

Nulook45 has just given us some much needed info that he should have mentioned in his OP.
he bought it 1 1/2 years ago. Its been out 2 time previous to this last time where he discovered the rot/damage.
a lot can happen in a year and a half, especially if stored un covered and a roof leak develops.
I would say if out twice before without noticing issues, perhaps it wasn't such a fraud after all.
I wasn't there to see it over when he bought it nor were any of the rest of us.
Seems old to me. BUT it was a used unit, sold "as is" and I believe it is entirely possible most of the damage/ rot occurred after the purchase, IMHO
It easy to jump all over the seller, but this is a year and half later.

you may be right nulook, but the fact that its been 18 months, I think your stuck.
How do I explain the door mat nailed to the floor.... BIG RED FLAG!
Sorry that happened to you but Buying used is risky even for the truly skilled and knowledgeable buyer.
