New Owner of an Used (1990) RV here-What do I need to know?

[SirPorkalot]

I have just purchased a used Class C, here are the particulars.

1990 24' Fleetwood Jamboree Rallye on a Chevy chassis with a (rebuilt) 454.

I am somewhat handy and expect to have to do regular maintenance along with some irregular maintenance/repairs due to the age.

While the beast seems to be in decent shape overall, and all systems seem to be (currently) in working order, I am looking for advice from the folks on here about what to look for going forward.

1. What are the typical issues/concerns with these models I need to stay in front of?
2. Any tips for upgrades to make the beast more efficient/productive?
3. What upgrades do I want to consider for dry camping? (solar panels/inverters, etc)

Thanks in advance for any help.

John

Water leaks and or water damage are your biggest concern by far. You might start with a seal test to see how many water leaks it currently has. Once you have those under control, then start searching for previous water damage.
Next on the line IMHO would be to have the gas system pressure tested.
Everything else will come.
