Although this isn't a bad idea, if you are going to look for an older high end DP, just make sure you have somebody who knows what they are doing inspect it closely for any hidden damage from water or things of that nature.
What areas are prone to water damage or other type of damage? Do you mean from the roof? I am pretty mechanically inclined and have pretty good knowledge of 5ers and my Cummins Diesel in the Dodge so isn't this something I can inspect?
Roof leaks allow water to get into walls and cabinets and other places. A few cheap pieces of trim and/or some paint can often hide this damage from an unsuspecting new buyer. There was a thread on here a few weeks ago from a person who was in the process of purchasing a used motorhome and found out that the seller had used some trim pieces to hide water damage to a wall.
I will look up the thread. Thanks!
