This one says 87001 miles on cummins Diesel engine, radiator, batteries. Maybe the MH has more than that. There are so many things to check out on a MH, small things that you only see after you buy.
Sometimes people will not tell you about a problem just because they do not know about it, or they think it is normal, or they just have no clue on how things are suppose to work.
Here is a few things I found after buying my MH:
The best one was about the system heat, the women says, OH, they told me not to touch this button, she did not know why, so after some readings I think it was probably because it drains the batteries, so the best thing is to never touch it.
The jacks where not working, I did not check them, my fault, when I bought it and the guy never told me. I phoned him after and he said he did not use them as he camp only a few weekend in a year. He thought it was a circuit breaker somewhere and never thought of telling me! I found out there was only two wires broken on the jacks themself.
The ABS light was on when I bought it, he said it did not bottered him since he never drives on snow, but for me, I will be driving in snow sometimes, so I had to fix it.
The turbo had a problem, but again, he had no clue there was a problem and never even tought he had a problem, it was missing sometimes, not all the time. I took the turbo apart and fixed it, but it could have cost me 3000 dollars.
The TV antenna was not stored properly, so I tried to raise it, no way it would not raise. I went on the roof and found out it was rusted and stored in a wrong position, jammed in the In motion satellite to keep it there thight! He did not know because he never watched TV since he had no converter for the new waves. He only watched videos.
One window had fog in it. I asked him about it and he said HO, only when I have the curtains closed, again he had no clue that this window had a broken seal and never mentionned it.
I had a very good price on the MH, and I am happy I negociated hard, but if I would have known of all these little things I would not have bought it or I would have negociate even more.
