The walls are laminated with insulation between inner and outer walls. The rubber roof rolls down the sides about 3 or 4 inches so unless it got torn should not have leaked. The weakness might be the 3 slides. The seals on our one slide would get stiff and needed some Silicone Spray to make them pliable. Yours is not that old. I might request another opinion and get a price on treating with Clorox and re-caulking suspected leak points. The pressure test usually is not more than $150 to $200 and would pinpoint areas needing attention.
Took our 2007/8 RV in for some checks, and repairs before our planned trip to Williamsburg. Just got home with some really bad news - mold! We have been very careful about having the seals checked and tried to stay on top of things.
He suggested we might want to have it pressure tested. But that won't tell us how bad it is. The bottom line was to just trade it in at a dealership and buy a new one.
