First toy hauler 08 fuzion 362

I’m looking to purchase a fuzion 2008 362, this is a one owner unit that was parked at a campground since New. It has the basic issue as the decals have pealed, and there is no awning. I’ve been looking for awhile and happen to come across this unit , it has a 12’ garage for my rzr 1000 . I’m not a huge fan of the bathroom / bedroom combo but for 8,000 it’s the nicest toyhauler I’ve seen for that price, roof looks good , interior is in great shape and no vehicle have ever been in the garage. What are the main issue with this year camper I should be looking at

    Good point and I'd check the black tank, if they left it open all the time you could have a pile of crud below the main line. No idea how to check if you can't see right down the hole, but worth thinking about.

    I had one that had sat on a lot like that and 3 yrs later when I moved it I found some other issues. In my opinion, I think I'd rather have one that's been used and traveled some instead of one that's been sitting for a length of time.

If it's been sitting with stuff falling over the roof that could be an issue, but more over you need to look at the roof condition itself. Leaks are the worst enemy of any RV. Has it run on propane or was it on power?


    Agreed with all this. I'd also want to check all the pipes/hoses as those could deteriorate over time as well. Basically just check out anything in the underbelly really well. Also check out any exterior caulking esp around windows to make sure it's not cracked/leaking.
