I am looking at getting a TT. One I am interested appears to have some "buckling" near the right front corner. What causes this and is this a sign of a bigger problem down the road? See the pic.

I'd run from this one....looks like a bad case of delam. Could be bigger problems underneath the skin.

I would be very skeptical. With that buckling, I would guess there is room for moisture underneath. That is never good!

I would say that as always, "it depends". How cheap can you buy this camper ? And what else needs to be repaired ? It's like anything, if you can get it cheap enough, then it could be worth picking it up and fixing it.
Otherwise....keep looking until you find something in better shape.

It might have some frame issues?Hard to say for sure until you really look at it.

That whole front wall looks like it is delaminated. judging by the way the wall is expanded between the window and the sides.

From where it starts it looks like the amber running light was the source of the leak. There's no excuse for preventive maintenance.

For want of 10 cents worth of caulk you get thousands of dollars in repairs. I'll bet the inside is as worse.
