Susan,
If you do decide to go ahead with the deal, don't sign any papers until you drive the Roadtrek on the highway at 60mph. If the unit wanders or if the handling is erratic, walk away from the deal.
Some 1998-2001 Dodge vans had serious handling problems that are almost impossible to resolve. These problems are magnified by the heavier weight added in the RV conversion, and especially if a lot of the weight is behind the rear wheels.
The handling issue is so bad that the NTSC has issued a roll-over warning for long wheel based Dodge vans from those years.
Also, the 1998-2001 Dodge vans have serious rust issues that appear around the rain gutters and front windshield pillars. If the van you are looking at has serious rust in these areas, walk away from it.
There are plenty of good deals on used RVs, and if you're in Florida, you are in the perfect place to find these deals.
