Yes plan to buy as is and enjoy as is. If I see a need to repair the roof down the road maybe I will or just get rid of it. I have to reiterate the current owner got it from his dad and just not big into RVs he assures me they used it last week in a huge florida rain storm and everything stayed dry. I have had several older RVs and enjoyed owning them outright with out making payments and just dealing with their quirks. We are talking a high end Lazy Daze motorhome here. They are pretty rare here in Florida and might just be worth the investment. I really think I could get it for $8000.
My first RV was a 1990 Coachman it leaked big time on our first trip from the typical bunk area. I thought about fixing right but that just seemed to technical for my skills. So I cleaned the entire roof installed Eterna Bond tape over everything then poured Liquid roof on top of that. Never had any more water issues and enjoyed for several more years. When I sold it I sold it cheap but cut my losses do to the enjoyment I had with it. I am waiting for someone to pipe in with a bad story of roof collapsing down the highway or family got sick from this unseen black mold that possibly could be hiding.
If I buy I will do a thorough Roof cleaning and inspection install some eternal bond tape and caulk some things maybe buy a RV cover when parked and just enjoy it on the small trips that we do. I have no immediate plans of cross country trips or full timing.
Thanks For the info all
