Sealant and water leaks as mentioned so far, seems the issue no matter what kind of RV one has and it doesn't seem to be effective long term no mater the class of the rig (except perhaps Airstream...anyone have one to comment on leaks?). We just sold an Amerilite 21MBLE that was in sad shape due to water leaks from roof and corner seam leaks. Pointed all this out to the buyer, everywhere the floor or roof was soft so he knew going in he was going to put 'sweat equity' into this one. Happy to get it for the 1/3rd of value of one NOT rotting away. The next new one we buy, I'm going over every seam with "Eternabond" seam tape and Dicor lap sealant around anything and everything going through the roof or walls (pipes, vents, antennas, windows, doors, etc) within the first month of owning it.
