One thing though...when we purchase from a dealer who has had a trade-in of rigs that have been lived in, they don't tell you anything, so how are we to know?
Look for the obvious. Torn/worn carpets and upholstery.
Smells and odors. Are there a bunch of air fresheners in the unit. Are there any quick or shoddy repairs, things glued and taped together. Excessive wear, scratches from the dogs. Damage that was covered with paint or stain. Evidence of leaks, soft floors.
You can usually tell in a couple minutes if it's something that really interests you.
