I bought my first used MH before the internet and asked every question I could think of and not one right question. My MH was extremely stressful to drive.
I spent some money on it, but learned it was just a poor design and would never be decent to drive. I sold it within a year.
Before you spend money on improvements do some research. There is much info on the internet about GVWR, Wheelbase ratio and things of that nature. Start with getting weighed.
The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), or gross vehicle mass (GVM) is the maximum operating weight/mass of a vehicle as specified by the manufacturer including the vehicle's chassis, body, engine, engine fluids, fuel, accessories, driver, passengers and cargo but excluding that of any trailers.
