I will add, take a kid with you, I say that because for my first time looking at used units I had my daughter with me who was about six or so, I think.
Anyway took a friend who had owned a fifth wheel for quite some time and looked at units because I figured he knew more.
And we thought one unit looked pretty good at one of these outfits that sell cars and trailer that dealers don't want to deal with.
But daughter said she smelled something, and being smaller she got right into a corner and said that is where the smell was, well turned out it had stains, and had leaked at some time, and then when I started checking inside the cupboards we found soft places, so friend was quite impressed and said the best thing I did was bring the daughter, they seem to have good sniffers.
