2019 Wolf Creek 850 Rear Tie down

[Bravo_Victor_Ou]

Hey all, we are looking at purchasing a used Wolf Creek 850 and the drivers side rear tie down can be moved slightly if I really pull down on it. Is this something that can be repaired easily? The outer skin is also kinda saggy under the cab over. Should we be very concerned?
Thank you all!

Thank you all for the insight!

Another wolf creek anchor point failure. Not the first one. Sounds like delam of the filon under the nose. My advice: unless you know how to fix it or are getting a really, really, really good deal...RUN AWAY!

In fact, I just googled this (ugg!)

Don't overtighten and rip the mounts out is good advice.
However the old story you posted is 99% irrelevant to the Op's issue. Would be 100% if not for both being Wolf Creek campers, lol...
In the story, it was actually the best possible outcome that the camper mounts DID pull out.

What do you mean by "saggy"?
Got pictures? (you can use http://photoposting.is-great.net and follow instructions there)
The tiedown should not move. There may be water damage (if wood framed), or it may have been overstressed.
Repairs can be done by a DYIer with a reasonably equipped workshop, a dry place to work on the camper out of the weather, and (usually) a lot of time - more than you anticipate. Ask yourself: Do you want to travel, or are you looking for a project?
Should you be concerned? Probably. Cautious? In any case.
Can someone with more experience look over the camper?

Wow, 2019?
Mount could just be loose. Did you try to tighten it? Is there an actual problem?
Saggy skin under overhang "could" just be a mfg defect, but more likely due to water damage, IMO.
