Looking to buy older 5th wheel
I am looking into getting a 5th wheel that hasn’t been towed much in its lifetime. Should I be worried about this or look for a more active 5er?

My 1st 5th wheel was a used unit that was parked at a permanent campsite. It was only a year old BUT I had to replace most of the clearance lights as well as the tail lights. The previous owners did not attempt to maintain the operational mechanics of the RV and as a result the lights were all corroded and had to be replaced. The tires were okay and the dealer serviced the brakes and hubs. Not sure what all was done. If this unit had sat for a longer period of time then I'm sure other issues would have come up.
A 5th wheel that has been used AND maintained to operate is a better option in my mind.
If your not sure of what to look for hire a RV mechanic to inspect the unit before purchase. This could save you many headaches and is worth the expense.
