If you can find one that has been stored undercover 24/7, as both of ours have, you will have probably eliminated one problem. But before you do anything, you should certainly have any trailer you're interested in checked by a reputable RV dealer/repair shop. It may need to be cleaned, sealed and recaulked even if stored under cover. Even if you feel comfortable doing the work yourself - which will save you a bundle - have it professionally checked. Roof maintenance seems to be at the bottom of the to-do list for lots of folks and that's where the trouble starts. When shopping, not only LOOK for any signs of water, but smell for any signs of mold or mildew. If you find either, run! Good luck.
