It would be risky. I would say you have to check everything over carefully, ask questions and hopefully get true answers such as how often did they use it, how many miles did they travel in it, where did they take it, what maintenance did they have to do it, how many people actually used it, when did the replace the tires, turn on the refrigerator, heater, air conditioner, stove, etc. Also check the holding tanks, run the water, flush the toilet. Make sure the shades all work, sit on the furniture, check the upholstery and most importantly check for any leaks and even go up on the roof and check under the trailer. We have a 2006 trailer and can truthfully say everything still works perfectly in it, but we usually go for staying at a site for the summer and only tow it to and from and then put in storage. Plus we put new tires on it 2 years ago. So far we have been lucky with the appliances and everything but with an older trailer you will have to do something eventually. Depends on how you use it and how you take care of it.
