Are Water Stains A Deal-Breaker?

Hello, I'm interested in purchasing a 1994 Layton Skyline 5th wheel that has two slide outs. I will be living in this full-time and have a few concerns that maybe someone with more experience can chime in on. I have a small budget of $5000 for the trailer/5th wheel, with that said, I know I am going to have to settle for something that could very well be funky and old, I am willing and ready for Some repairs but nothing extensive like structural damage.

QUESTION: Are water stains a deal-breaker???? When walking into this trailer there are definitely some water stains on the ceiling. No evidence of water down the walls, in cabinets, or flooring as far as I could tell. The owner said they're just stains and that the roof has been redone and all repairs made (the roof looked new). Is there any way I can tell for MYSELF if there is damage to the frame, mold, things like that?

I have an RV inspector that's going to check it out but we all know how that can go, making up unnecessary repairs to finagle more money out of newbies like myself.

Any input would be greatly appreciated
Thank you,
Victoria
