My mother in law is selling her 2000 coachman Mirada 30qb. I am thinking of buying it from her but would like some advice. We took it for two days to Turner Falls in OK to see if we liked it but I not...

I wouldn't do it without pinpointing the water issues and any possible rotted floors etc. I'd also find out why it's de laminating and find all the wiring problems. If I was buying it and figuring all of that out after I own it I would be pricing it at very low value. I have looked over RV's for others with a fine tooth comb for hours and have been amazed at how close I came to missing water damage that was bad but not easily apparent yet. It's a tricky thing and can get you and can end up being a real fiasco when you open them up.
At worst, you may need to buy a new water heater which is about $350 or $100 for a control card or it may just need to be cleaned. Things like a bad water heater or even a bad $1800 refrigerator may hurt but the real pain is finding out that your foot went through the floor or the shower is now sagging through the floor or it is rotted around the toilet etc. Ideally I want to start out with a solid rig then fix all the WH, radio, frig, batteries, converter and on and on issues. You then have a solid rig and everything works. I could start out with delam or other water issues but I want to do it at a very very low cost.
When it comes to RV's they say either be handy or have a lot of money.
