Seems to be in good shape. Gonna have a mechanic look at it though and do a full inspection

ANy known issues with these guys?

I have a 2004 National Tropical DP. I bought it brand new and I've been happy with it over the years. It is a coach that it's the medium to lower end of the DP market, but it's solid. It has a all steel frame as opposed to aluminum that others use. It also has a one piece fiberglass roof that is preferred by many and at the time I bought mine, the one piece fiberglass was generally only available on much more expensive motorhomes.

I've had minor problems over the years but mostly stuff I fixed myself. The seal between the roof and my front cap has leaked a few times and I just ordered an Eternabond tape kit to seal it and seal the back cap too while I'm at it. Hopefully that will fix that problem. But overall I'm happy with it. Mine is only 35 foot and if I was going to full time I'd want something bigger, but with the three slides I have I could probably full time in it if I wanted to.
