soon to be new full time RV er

I got a few suggestions that helped or got us a good coach-First off Roof -If there is any water marks on ceiling run away-AND you can't take the sellers word-look into every cabinet for water marks if shows any water marks there is a leak and hard to find and fix right without spending money-- next if you a buy a MH with a slide in the price range your looking it will be either leaking worn out or something wrong down the road and will be more expensive down the road --There are a lot without slides and you can use that as bargaining the price-the extra room you gain for one person isn't worth the hassle -upkeep and weight--TIRES --I disagree with others on this --If the MH is got good points and bad tires buy it and put new tires on -The most important thing on a MH is the tires so don't worry about the age of tires but DO spend the money for them---If you are going to tow a car sell your bigger car and get a front wheel drive smaller used car like a ford focus and spend a little more on a USED Demco tow dolly WITH surge brakes-To tow a car is a convenience but we feel it is worth its weight in gold-We like the Ford F-53 chassis with the V-10 motor over the 460 Ford and do not care for the P-30-32 chassis because of the brake problems-I would look under the chassis and look for chassis rust--Fleetwood has been our choice on our 1st & 2nd MH and have had good luck with both--These are of course my own opinions and aren't the bible but only suggestions-Hope they help--Rich
