No, you're maybe in a minority, but not crazy. We bought an old Class C from a guy who was a snowmobile enthusiast. We found a bunch of things that his lifestyle had caused, during our brief ownership of the RV.
The biggest problem was condensation damage. From what we could tell, he and his buddies just dumped their cold, wet clothes in the rig and didn't take any precautions regarding condensation. Th amount of mold and mildew we found, in areas that weren't readily visible, was mind-boggling.
If you do use the rig for skiing and snowshoeing, take care to put your wet clothing to dry somewhere other than in the living area. Had we known how that MH had been used, we'd never have bought it. $8,000 lesson learned! BTW, in a 26' Class C, there was no room for a washer/drier. Frankly, there wasn't enough room for husband and wife and 2 Labradors to sleep! I'm surprised that POS didn't put us off RVing for life!
