Park Model long term quality

I didn't see this coming...

We found a campground we absolutely love. There are several dozen full time residents, and we found a 1999 Forest River Quailridge that is being sold. Price is decent, and we're considering purchasing.

Anything we should be looking at? Unit looks very well cared for.

    They all leak eventually. The only cure is a metal roof over. If that is done before too much damage has occurred they are great. We have a 1982 Alfa and it's solid. Our campground is heavily wooded and in Western Washington so there is a lot of rain and wind. There are many older park models in the park those without roof overs require constant maintenance and it's a losing battle. With the metal roof they are fine.

    Annual park fees, utility costs, and a darn good inspection of the unit. Read where park fees go up considerably once a new owner comes in.
