Buying a known (?) problem

It will be much worst than you think, if you are seeing damage inside, once you open it up, you will see that if has spread quite far. Visible damage in a top corner almost always means every thing in the bottom corner below that is rotted away!
As I said earlier, mold is a real health issue, and its presence should not be dismissed as something that you can easily fix yourself.
Just the title of your thread should be sounding alarm bells in your head. That is why many long time RVers are flat saying Run don't Walk away on this one!
If you do buy this rig please come back with pictures so that others can learn from your experience!
