Real life experance!
About six years ago we bought a 1986 28' King of the Road for $1,500 that had a soft floor and needed tires before a 150 mile tow home. Tires were $400 the cost of materials to repair the back 6' of the floor and 2/3 of the back wall and the lower 1/3 of the back 10' of the drivers side wall was about $400. We also replaced the cooling unit on the refer. We now had one nice older 5er, well we wanted a larger unit so put on the market just over two years ago for $3,800 and sold it for $3,000. We feel we did ok,
With a rotten leaky roof you will need to find someone with the skills to repair and the desire to get a deal.
On Edit here is a picture of the unit as sold.
