Is THIS the one that's in your profile, because your profile seems to suggest it is your current RV. Did you already buy it? With all of the issues, unless there's something I don't know, I have to side with those who suggest you run away from this as quickly as possible. UNLESS you get it for near nothing and can fix it up yourself. But even then, there is A LOT of work to be done. Plus, IF there's a problem with the roof, there could be all sorts of hidden water damage you don't even know about yet. I'd keep looking. There are too many good rigs out there and with gas & diesel prices climbing higher daily, I believe there will be many more to choose from very soon.

Keep in mind that most of the things the current owner is telling you is unlikely to be the full story. Not only that, they way he drives (as evidenced by the numerous exterior hits, scraps, bangs, holes, etc.), is likely similar to how he has maintained the unit as well. Just what's visible is enough to run away; what about what's not visible yet?

The red flags went up when comments over inverter tripping and gas guage acting funky. Sounds like a project of t projects. * This post was edited 03/01/22 12:49pm by tourusa * dodge guy • View posts Bartlett IL Senior Member Joined: 03/23/2004 View Profile Offline Posted: 03/01/22 12:51pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Keep shopping.

I'll be buying my next RV to travel, not work. This seems like a ton of work even if you get the guy to "give" it to you.
