Purchasing a used TT from dealer
Hi, This is my first time posting. I am in the process of purchasing a used TT from a dealer. This is my second TT. It is not used for traveling, but will be spending all it's time parked in ...

Well thanks for all the assistance.
I did end up purchasing the Citation.
Overall it fit our needs better than the Coachmen.
I inspected it myself and didn't notice too many problems. I had another person look at it that repairs TT and he said it was a well maintained TT with additional upgrades made by the owner over the years to things like the water heater, pumps, etc
The only problem I saw was concerning the slide out.
When the slide out is all the way in and you go to open it, it sometimes binds and needs to be started by the hand crank one turn. Then if you go inside and press the button it opens fine.
Sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesn't. I tried it about 5 times at the dealership. The dealer told me the technician checked it and it's not a motor issues etc, but a problem because it's a 20' slide and it happens sometimes because of a design flaw with such a large slide. I felt like I was getting smoke blown up my arse, but I am not a TT mechanic etc. I only expect to open and close it twice a year. Once in the spring to open it and once in the fall to close it when I winterize it. Maybe they bs'ed me...
Does anyone know if that problem can be fixed if I chose to troubleshoot it myself? Any possible causes?
I have a few other questions but I will start a new thread on those.
