If you read many of the posts on this forum, electrical problems are the toughest to deal with which equates to a lot of labor dollars if you have to pay someone to do it.
IF, and this is a big IF, you got a list of items replaced when it was "refurbished", then it might be a good deal.
I would be interested in the electronic engine module and the electronic transmission module being replaced, as well as the control boards for the generator, WH, Refrigerator, AC systems, thermostats, and the electronic slide control. The inverter and the EMS would be suspect also.
If the people who did the "refurbish" did not replace ALL of the electronic items and controls, I would say that they did a band-aid repair and are trying to unload it quickly.
Remember, the insurance company wrote this off as not being economically repairable. That was a big check they wrote. Perhaps their expert knew exactly what he was doing. Do you feel lucky?
