I'm an enlisted guy in the Air Force and we have a two year old so the pockets aren't too deep, but I'm fairly mechanically inclined. I obviously don't fully grasp all of the ins and outs of a complicated home on wheels... I know my way around the engine of most any carbureted GM 350 and I'm a decent carpenter so I can get a fair idea of structural integrity. I don't have much experience when it comes to things like tanks, electrical systems, and leveling/hydraulic systems so any advice about what to check for in those areas is much appreciated. Also if there are any rookie checklists that somebody knows about or any hard learned lessons that I can avoid, then I'm all ears.
Look in the "files"sections, Libraries or "sticky"sections of all of these RV forums for buyers checklists. There are a ton of them. Good luck!
