Looks like we are close to an agreement (contingent on inspection) and I'm still trying to find a professional inspector. Here is plan if I can't find someone, I think I've hit every point mentioned. Also, final price includes credit for cost of 4 new tires. Sellers are good people but like Bob said, it's the things they are not even aware of that I need to find (if any).
Exterior:
-Check all jacks for operation (tongue and stabilizers).
-Check awning operation.
-Check side walls for bubbles or ripples (delamination).
-Disconnect water hookup and fill fresh water tank. Run water in kitchen, bath sink, shower and toilet. Check for proper drainage.
-After testing water get under unit, inspect for any leaks or signs of previous water damage or mold.
-Test outside shower.
-Get on roof and inspect every inch for soft spots or signs of water incursion. Check all caulking.
-Inspect slide seals.
-Check exterior lighting.
Interior:
-Start with water incursion inspection. Check all areas of floor for soft spots / stains / mold including inside cabinets, under bunks / beds. Check ceiling / walls / corners for stains or signs of mold including inside cabinets.
-Confirm slide operation and inspect slide seal when closed.
-Test each appliance operation including fridge / freezer in both modes, heat, AC, range, oven, TV’s.
-Test interior lighting and outlets.
-Inspect bathroom sky light and test fan operation.
-Disconnect shore power, test furnace, fridge, lighting, water pump running off battery.
Mechanical:
-Connect tow vehicle and pull onto camp road, test trailer brake operation.
-Check underside of TT again for tank leaks after being moved.
I think that's everything :R
