Re: New Guy
Welcome Campd!
I don't know much about the specific model you're investigating, but if it's your first rig, there is plenty to consider in general, regardless of model.
o Take it for a ride and see how it handles. Does it ride well? Does it handle well? Does it accelerate and brake well?
o Listen to how it sounds. Rattles, squeaks, thumps, etc.
o Crawl under it and look for rust and stains. A rig of that year is bound to have some rust, as long as it isn't coming apart at the seams.
o Check out all the interior equipment...Shower, sinks, toilet, TV(s), stereo, oven, range, microwave, fresh water pump, furnace, A/C.
o Check the shore line connections for water, electric and sewage.
o If so equipped, run the generator and make sure all systems will work when it is running.
o Lay on the bed, sit on the sofa and chairs. If you're going to spend time in it, you need to be comfortable.
So...If you're happy with it, or think you can fix it, or you can live with it, then go for it !
Let us know what you decide.
