Anyone make a mistake buying first MH ?
Just curious.. No matter how much research you do , it seems there is no substitute for owning and using a MH.. Anyone buy one and then realize you made a mistake on the first one.. If so, how did you...

Two years ago I purchased a 2005 Dutchman Express class c 23' coach. When I had the walk-through with the sales person, I noticed a soft spot on the roof, next to the skylight. I asked the salesperson about it and he dismissed it as a non issue. I also noticed the skylight had moisture on the inside(a clear indication of a leak!). I purchased the RV and a few weeks later, It began to delaminate. I went to a local RV repair center and quickly learned that the roof needed replacing due to the leak, the skylight needed replacing, the side laminate needed to be re-glued. All the damages where due to the leak!!! The quote was for 7K. I was furious!!! Three months later, I was camping in Seabring Florida where a nasty storm broke a tree branch, it fell and penetrated the roof of my "new" RV. I was able to see the tree branch on the inside of my RV. My insurance company paid to have the entire roof redone with a new wood laminate and a new rubber roof and I also got a new awning as well.
Lesson: Don't believe your salesperson. Follow your gut feeling and ask a different person who has knowlege of RVs. Don't rush to purchase the RV. If you are unsure, leave a deposit with 24 hour reservation and ASK A DIFFERENT PERSON ABOUT YOUR GUT FEELING. You could make a $7 Thousand Dollar mistake OR more! Fortunately, I only had to pay my deductible.
