Maybe take it off the chassis and get it hot dipped so it actually looks like a new one as well. Final prices will obviously be more than what they currently are but looking at some of his completed listings there is still some good buys to be had if you are handy.

If you follow the ebay link and look at the photos it also has some damage to the hard top, it may have had a bit of a roll?

I thought exactly the same. It would have cost a bit to get it to the auction, store it and do the paperwork. There also a "flat pack" Jayco further down that's in the same category.

Final prices on those ones are in, while its hard to know the actual damage the supreme seems like a very good buy.

Looking at some of the sold ones I can't work out why they are stat. Write offs not to be re-registered. The damage doesn't seem that significant they couldn't be a repairable write off. Do they not do repairable write offs for caravans?

From what he said in one of the videos I got the impression they don't.

Are they in NSW? Or insured in NSW? I know they don't allow any write offs to be reregistered there. Once its been written off that's it.
Or if the draw bar is bent it'll probably be a stat.

its one reason that insurance is so stupidly expensive... Look at some of the motorcycles on ebay that cant be rego'ed... couple of scratches so replace with replica fairings few few hunge, new handlebars and they ride perfect... but you cant rego em
