Humm... only $10K for a 9.6' clamshell camper? Better run out and buy it!!
Any seals (including the window ones shown here) are going to fail with age. Simple/easy/cheap to get it resealed. Problem solved.
The sagging roof is likely only fiberglass/foam separation. This is what happens with these types of campers with age - the glue fails. While it can be a major issue if it is in key structural support areas (like on ether side of the pass through window) in front of the bedroom escape hatch does not look to be a real issue.
The clamshell campers age well as long as (like ANY other RV) the seals are maintained.
I'm surprised that they are not asking $15-20K for it knowing what the going rate of a new ones are. The biggest replacement item is the refridge. While many RV units will seemingly "work forever", they will degrade if operated to far off level for to long and are costly ($1-2K) to replace.
