used trailer buyer needs advice

We have a 1997 24' Fleetwood Mallard. We bought it used about three years ago after looking at a lot of used trailers. It was dirty but not abused. We got it cleaned up and everything worked great. We spent a couple of years upgrading the inside; new oak floor, counter top, sink, faucet, table, wallpaper borders, curtains and new shower walls. Its just as nice as a new one and the best thing is it's paid for. We do maintenance twice a year so we don't have any problems. The only two things I've had to fix was a hot water heater control box and a fridge control module.

To make a long story short, the are some really nice older trailers out there if your careful what you buy.
