Fema Travel Trailers For Sale

It will come as good news for many people. The trailers that FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) in 2005 are stored again on the market for sale. Consumers have been buying them for a song.

But if you hop on the bandwagon to buy? Here is a list of advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages:

Price: As I said, they are a lark. The Washington Post reported an average sales price of $ 7367 on these trailers and mobile homes deemed worth $ 18,620 each. In other words, buyers pay about 40 cents on the dollar.

Condition. Many trailers have been little used. Some are like new.

Availability. As their most recent message, FEMA claims an inventory of over 120,000 units. They say they sell mobile homes and trailers for the next 3 years to clear inventory.

Disadvantages:

Price. Most of FEMA travel trailers 10,839 sold between July 24, 2006 and July 23, 2007 was sold for scrap. While EHV $ 6, 936 for campers for sale and $ 11,479 for mobile homes that can not live in.

Condition. Many trailers are not in great shape. Those that are sold in the past have been uninhabitable. Who in the language FEMA, meant that they could be used as office space or storage containers. It was so FEMA handling high levels of formaldehyde fumes emitted by building materials that you remember the sting the eyes of victims of Katrina and gave tirelessly of upper respiratory problems.

The units come up for sale now are not classified as waste. They are "repairable". In general, this means they need $ 1,500 up work done to repair the damage they have suffered from empty in humid and being moved several times.

Availability. They are currently stationed at an airport in Hope, Kansas. And you have to pay to make the road fit them, then move them.

Our initial question.

Should you buy one? Of course, the answer depends on where you are, how much you invest, and what you want to use.

FEMA campers are picked up monthly. The irony is that because of the economy, there are thousands of campers each month auction of surplus stocks and government seized and taken up with starting bids as low as $ 100. People do not know how to find them. There is no reason to ignore FEMA campers. Just keep your eyes open for better offers on improving VR. They are there and plentiful.
