When I started looking I wanted a 24ft MH.
Surprisingly I ended up with a 31ft MH when I went to look at buying a horse and when I pulled in the driveway there sat the 31ft for sale.
I went home with a used 31ft MH instead of a new show horse. :R
I smelled a little gas when looking at it and the owner said he had just filled it up and probably spilled some.
Fast forward........First trip to Florida when I went to fill up in Georgia I heard a waterfall sound under the MH. Gas was pouring out from underneath! Told the clerk and hightailed it out of that station before hazmet got there!
I had to continue my trip and was to find out that at a certain point of filling up it would pour out underneath. So I marked the gas gauge on the dash with tape where that point was and continued on.
Took a couple of repair shops before finding an RV mobile repair in FLorida that knew what it was. The fuel tank vents had got knocked out of position. They repaired it and all was fine.
UNTIL last year when I hit a pot hole on Atlanta interstate after filling it up and topping the tank off and they are once again open. **** near killed my cat riding in the back from the fumes before I stated to smell it. :(
