The tie down eyes are correct. They simply screw into a metal catch plate wrapped around the bottom 2x2. Check the seams of the corner trim directly above the tie downs. If the 2x2 is weak, this seam will crack.
The stuff they used on the old stuff is top notch. It cracks on the surface but underneath stuff it will remain gooey and seal well.
Biggest place to check is below the front window. Would expect a bit of discolation due to condensation running down the window, but shouldn't have any soft wood. The other place to check is about 6" below the front clearance lights.
Expect the insulation to be a tad bit better than the Angler you have and construction to be much better. The jacks can be an issue, but usually if the caulking and seal is good you don't have much of a problem.
Does look very clean and seams like a reasonable price. Any clean hard side camper without water damage is worth at least that much.
