I am looking into buying a 1997 Featherlite.  The dealer just "informed" me that they had to do some overlayment to repair some corrosion.  Will the floor be as good as new, or is it just a bandaid.  Will the trailer be structurally sound?

Location: Kansas		Tough question-there are a lot of variables here. How bad is the corrosion? How widespread? Are they getting rid of it or covering it up hoping it won't spread? Is it just the floor surface or is it structural? I'd be very careful here.
