inspecting a slide out TT
Hello, I'm going to inspect/purchase a used TT this weekend. I'm pretty familiar with inspecting TT's but I've never owned one with a slide. What do I want to inspect in the slide? What should ...

Thanks for the help. This is a 2009 TT that appears (in photos) to be in very good condition and according to the owner it's been used very little and stored indoors through winter. I just sold our previous TT and was going to take my time through this winter and find a great deal on just what we're looking for, but I think I've found it already, lol. This is a Dutchmen, and I really wanted a Jayco, but it's got 4 of our top 5 wish list items, appears to be in great condition and we've agreed on a price of $9500 (low NADA retail is $12,300 average is $14,800). Most of the other TT's I'm seeing in my area in the $10K range are 4-5 years older and not as appealing floorplan, condition, etc.
Knowing all that, lol, what would be dealbreaker issues for you and what would be issues you'd accept and repair? Obviously, any water issues, rot, mold, etc will send me running for the hills. Roof issues are a biggie for me, as are major appliances. Having never owned a slide TT before, will I want to add an "awning" over the slideout? About how much should I expect on a 14' or so slide?
