Leaky roof, any ideas where it’s coming from ?

That would be my thought on saying it has a 'new roof'... In that, if they stripped the old one off and put a new membrane or whatever on it.. Then they would/should have had to pull everything off the roof first.. ACs, vents.. Everything..

If they just re-coated it, they could have just pulled the cover off the ACs and done deal.. But, if it's condensate line is plugged or leaking, then it's not been fixed..

Yes, being above the slide, takes that out of the equation for the source IMO.

That's why I said maybe the drip rail, but when the AC unit was mentioned by johnhick, "bingo" went off in my head.. At least enough to think that's a good place to start the search..

Might still be worth it for the right price... I saw others in the $60k range for the same year/make/model of rig, so??

Does not matter what they paid for it brand new.. It's what it's worth now that matters and condition is a major factor in the rv world.

Good luck if you go for it! Like I said, it looks good from the other pics, and 140k is not much on the engine as long as it's been maintained of course.

Since it seems to be an online deal, I don't know if you'll be able to see it in person first, but that's the only way I buy vehicles, but that's just me..

The other twist is it has 140k miles on the engine, not sure if an issue may have been pamper3d

Hi Mitch, I was watching iTube and slide out seals failing but it looks above the slide on the actual roof, could it be the condensate line blocked or they resealed the roof making the ac below the reroof paint. If you were doing the roof wouldn’t you have changed the seal on the ac unit ?. Always a bit cautious over leaky roofs but looking at the pictures looks like only in that spot or that’s where it’s showing

If it's this ad text I found then it's a pretty nice rig otherwise by it's description and pics... They do disclose the "some water intrusion at the roof", that's at least them being open about it...

It might be worth going for it at that price.. Depends on how much you want to invest to find the leak and fix it. You've probably got a good amount of room to negotiate so offer $30k and see where it goes if you are willing to accept the leak repair. Might still be a good deal in the end??

Good luck! Mitch

Hi this is an 05 fleetwood revolution one owner with 140k miles he’s asking 39k with newish tires and regular service, thoughts on price is it a 20k rig or a hard pass ?

If they just put a roof on it and you are seeing this, avoid it. It’s one thing to have it happen after you buy it, it’s another to purchase knowing it’s currently their.

Ahh... Yes, the AC leaking could do that too.. I missed that.. Good catch johnhicks!

Still.. Depending on how long it's been leaking, could be more damage that just has not shown itself yet?

It would be a good idea to pull the AC unit and inspect further from there...

Seal is just a gasket and you'd have to remove the unit to do that anyway.

Not hard, per se... But a couple person job I'd say.

Thanks all, @john how hard to replace, have you seen this before ?

Gasket under a/c

Avoid like the plague. Will cost over $3000 to repair.
