One of the really serious problems with the Bay Hill line was (and maybe still is) the propane delivery system. If you smell leaking propane, chances are you are having propane blowback. The propane line from the single tank on the trailer's door side to the two tanks on the other side were installed improperly. The lines were inverted and needs to be dealt with immediately. At first my service provider thought it was simply a leaking regulator, but a propane specialist at the repair facility determined immediately what the problem was.
You were concerned about the fresh water tank. I'm on my third fresh water tank, the first one simply fell out and the second one became deformed after the original selling dealership used cheap straps and did not replace the angle-iron frame.
Slides will also be an issue as you've no doubt determined. Make sure to keep them well lubed and if you hear a popping sound, you'll know that the bearings are bad and you'll be in for some major repair issues.
