Thanks guys, very good points, I'll check everything that was mentioned. I did get 10 minutes to look inside (we store our RV's at the same lot, he was in the area and let me take a look.) There was a roof leak at the air conditioner, and on the rear wall in the cabinets above the queen bed. The current owner told me these leaks occured in a very heavy rain storm in portland, and have since been repaired.
I'll pull the inside A/C cover, and inspect the roof for rot(is there wood in an Itasca roof, anything to rot up there?) The leaks in the rear cabinet, I knocked on the wall and didn't detect any soft spots.
Overall, a couple leaks seems unavoidable in 13 years, and if they were repaired quickly it's likely damage was minimal.
I'll check the floor, does anyone know if Winnebago uses a plywood floor or that pressboard junk? My brother had 1 leak in his trailer, and the pressboard floor was ruined.
Thanks again!
