I'd buy a new one or at least give the used one a thorough inspection. Those rear slides are prone to structural issues both related to and not related to water damage. I have been intimately familiar with 4, all of different model years, and all 4 had issues with that rear slide. Two were so bad the owners scrapped them. IRRC mid 00's model years on the scrapped ones, the other two were 11 and 12. It's a bad design as the slide extends too far to support itself. Even worse is if the owners were of great bulk, chances are that slide is just hanging on from the weight it was subjected to. Forest River used to make rear slide models in the Rockwoods and they had their problems too. Maybe they have developed some type of manufacturing design engineering miracle as of late, but I would be skeptical based on what I have seen in the past of rear bed slides.
