First time buyer
We have tent camped 20 yrs and have been looking at TT for about two yrs now. We have found a 2010 Gulfstream 25' BH for sale by a private owner. He is 72 and traveled all 50 states and recently lost ...

We are almost set to buy this TT. I appreciate all the help. I just have a couple more questions. When we were inspecting it my husband asked if he could get on the roof. The owner said sure it won't hurt anything, he walks around on it. . I have the owners manual and read that you are not suppose to walk on the roof of it unless using a piece of plywood. Should we be concerned if he's been walking on it, like could something be damaged that we don't know about?
Second, on our inspection we saw the veneer paper of the molding at the bottom of the refrigerator peeling and had been taped. I asked the owner and he said he has gone away on a trip and had the TT plugged up at the site but the gas was off. A storm knocked out the power and the fridge had defrosted and some water had ran down the front. We did not feel any soft spots in the floors or walls. Is this something I should be concerned with? The fridge run fine and was cold.
Everything was in working order, the ac, the furnace, hot water, stove, We feel it is in pretty good shape but just not sure of the two items above. Camping World wants $300 to do an inspection. Just don't think it is that big a deal when we checked it out ourselves but would like other opinions.
As for tires, the date code is 2010, same as model. How often do these need to be replaced? They look pretty good but I am not sure how long they last.
Last thing is insurance. If this TT is being pulled by our burb, is their any overlap in coverage? I know in the past when we rented TT, the rental said it was covered under our auto. We plan to look into a basic policy but don't feel we need too much coverage. Does Good Sam have the best rates?
Thank you all so much.
