'05 Dutchman Classic 35SRV Toy Hauler

It's 12 years old that's the biggest issue, I can't recall any massive ongoing problems. Best bet is to grab a PD Check List and spend a few hours going over it before you make an offer or hire an inspector to do it.

2X hire an RV inspector

We put a lot of miles on our 2004 Victory Lane 35SRV. The things I would look at are:

1) make sure the walls are well attached. When we traded ours they would move side to side a fraction at the top. Look for loose corner trim or broken wallpaper.
2) make sure no soft spots in the garage floor
3) we had a lot of tire problems until we put Goodyear 614s on, then no problems
4) check the suspension very carefully - we broke hangers, shackles and springs.

If all of that is good, we really didn't have any other problems in the 7 years we had it.

I have an 06 winners circle 36SRV, not had any issues with it in the 3 years I've owned it other than I rebuilt the susp and upgraded to 16" wheels and tires. I would at least have the dealer rebuild the susp system...usually a neglected area on RVs.

The rubber roof would be the first concern. It'll cost a few bucks to get that replaced. They are only good for about 10 years unless they are maintained properly.

Brakes and wheel bearing would be next on the list to check.

Then the frige, stove, hot water heater and furnace.

Check the caulking as well at the corners to make sure they are solid and no water has been leaking behind the siding.
