4X4van, I guess my comment about 100 plus pages was confusing.. All hundred pages were not problems, some were comments on things that were working, like stove, water heater, fridge... I just meant it was very comprehensive...
Life safety issues--- gasket/seal at water heater could allow gases inside RV through gaps. Tire had gouge in side and was cracking..
I would rather not purchase sight unseen, but this "unicorn" was over 800 miles away. Inspection was less than time off work and travel to visit, so although I am out nearly a grand, it was still worth the cost.. and as I said, I wouldn't have caught all the issues (like none of the slides worked as they should.. one you could see daylight around edges.. others had torn sweeps or sweeps that didn't work correctly (indicating a lack of PM)
