I hope you checked the other systems out like:
The fridge - does it come on and get cool? Runs ok on propane? You know that you have to bleed air from the lines by lighting a burner in the stove first - right?
Water heater - does it heat water?
Air Conditioner - comes on and blows cold air?
Water Pump - runs and pumps water from sinks and shower?
Furnace - comes on and blows hot air?
Stove - burners come on?
Hopefully you saw all this stuff working before you bought it - except the fireplace didn't work, so chances are high that's a no.
You understand that you can't test most things by plugging the TT into a 120 volt plug via an extension cord running from the garage - right? You should have a 30 amp RV outlet (not clothes dryer) outlet installed where your power cord can reach it.
Do you know how old the tires are? You know what psi to fill them to before leaving and have a good spare? You understand the TT tires can look better than they actually are and the older they are - especially if they are made in china, the more prone to blowouts?
Did the roof and caulk seams get inspected - or had maintenance done in the last year? Even seen the roof?
Do you understand your tow vehicle's capabilities? Know about payload? Know how much weight a full tank of fresh water will add? And - has the fresh water system ever been used? Been sanitized? How do you know it doesn't have antifreeze in it?
She was having a meltdown about an electric fireplace - imagine if any of these other creature comforts are all of the sudden taken away?
I personally wouldn't go anywhere with someone who treats me like you describe - and now your going on a long trip to spend time with this person in a confined space? Life must be great as a punching bag.
Lots of luck to you - you will need it since we all know how that will go for you if things aren't picture perfect...
Wow. Way to put your own issues onto a complete stranger.
