That to me seems a little high too. I don't really understand how bad that roof is. For that price, it must be in really bad shape. Was the RV stored inside or outside. I think that would be my determining factor from the get go. If you have that much to invest in the house (and batteries) there's no telling how much is yet to be done the the chassis and drive train. And that my friend, with the exception of the roof would be my primary concern. I would question the maintenance and upkeep on this one.
For a 3 year old coach,
1. The roof should like white, bright and clean. There should be little to no mold. The Self leveling sealant should be in-tact in the places it supposed to be.
2. Most batteries last 5 to 6 years when properly maintained/charged
3. Not sure what type of maintenance they are talking about for the AC's. DO they blow cold air. You can check that yourself with a temperature gauge. There should be at a minimum a 20 degree drop. If not that means they need refrigerant and they have a leak somewhere.
4. These furnaces are usually pretty simple to maintain. Again, if they light and blow hot air, the fan sounds good, the exhaust is not blocked.
5. I have pretty much a new Thor and my side view cameras for what ever reason fog up too especially after I wash the coach/get them wet. It's not until I use them for a while and when they dry out good they clear up.
