Buying at auction
Hello! I'm new here and this is my first post. :-)
My fiancé and I have been talking for a while about buying a TT (can't talk him into a fifth wheel)and lately we've been looking at what's available at auction. We're experienced RV'ers (him more than me) and we're pretty handy with making repairs ourselves so we're not afraid of buying something with issues.
That being said, for the super-experienced RV'ers among you, what are the specific issues you recommend we run away from? The few issues I've named as deal-breakers are frame damage, submersion and fire.
We've got our eye on a 2016 Dutchman Denali with hail damage. He's going to look at it in person today, but we're assuming the damage must be on the top because we can't see a single thing wrong with the rest of the body from the pictures online. Of course, this means we should be prepared for roof leaks and maybe mold treatment.
