You can still get a lot of info from CarFax. How many owners, how many states it was registered in, how many miles, has it been on auction block. It can still paint a picture of a hard or easy life even without 100% repair info showing up.
Don't think you get the "picture" being painted!.:R.
CarFax - one owner. Reality = four
States - 0ne. Reality = two (underwater in LA?)
Miles - 30K. Reality = 130K
Auction - no. Reality = yes, prob with speedo rolled back.
By then - what the hey does *any* repair/s matter?
CA (on the news) had problems of CarFax generating bogus info - by/for dealers - to close deals(?).
BTW - "AGC" (the OP) bet CarFax will be happy to take your $ for a report.
For a MH - run the VIN via your PD & the mfgr.
If you can't do a thorough inspection yourself, hire an appraiser, drive line mechanic, and/or mobile RV repair person to do it for you.
Money well spent - way better than relying on CafFax.
