Newbie just got a 27' Kountry Star 5th wheel..

I've been around numerous campers in my life and know about the roof, soft floors and ect.. I'm just looking for input on a Kountry Star camper. I got the thing for $800 WITH the 5th wheel hitch. Floors solid, roof redone 2 years ago, Nice inside, New tires, breaks, springs, and bearings last time used. It's just dirty and hasn't gone far in 5 years. ALL paperwork books and receipts. It is a 1990 27'. Any common issues? How good are they? Any input would be great and I hope to do my part in helping with other peoples problems as well. Thanks!
  • Thanks for all your responses! I know it's made by Newmar corp. as I have all the owners manual, service manual, delivery paperwork, trip logs, and title. I was just wondering if it was a good one or not. My buddy had a 32' cherokee by forest river and it was a 1998 loaded with all sorts of problems.
  • If it was manufactured by Newmar, which I think it was, they are considered high quality. I don't know anything more than that about the unit, but for $800 I think you are off to a good start, especially if the roof and floor are solid. Heck, my hitch cost more than that!
