We initially looked for a used unit and found an only 1-year old Adventurer TC in another state. We talked extensively with the owner over the phone, multiple times, I mean REALLY asked questions. All sounded wonderful. No problems, virtually new...
So, we made a mad dash across 1 1/2 states with $ in hand only to discover that this 1-year old camper had been neglected, water in baggage compartment, siding swollen, broken awning from tree impact, mold on cabinetry doors and inside, warped interior moldings. Slide seal torn and loose. Nasty bathroom and fridge, etc.
Total waste of a long day! The experience disgusted us so much that we decided to get a quality new unit.
So, do not trust sellers no matter what they tell you! Inspect very carefully. Use your nose and eyes. Feel the surfaces for mold and dampness. Lift cushions, mattress. Look for any stains, runs, odd collections of dirt in corners that might indicate sitting/evaporated water, flowing water in the past.
Good luck!
