Re: Buying an RV with patched water leak
Thanks so much to everyone for their input. I have decided to pass on this RV. I agree that I don't have the knowledge or skills to fix up something that needs a lot of work. My budget is actually around 12K but was attracted to the lower price on this MH and having the extra room in my budget for repairs. I definitely appreciate the perspective of people with more experience about these things, even though it's a bit hard to hear! Fingers crossed that I find the right RV soon, I will keep looking.428Views0likes0CommentsBuying an RV with patched water leak
Hello all! I'm new to the forums here and was hoping I could get some advice about a Class C I'm thinking about purchasing. My partner and I are finally ready to take the plunge and purchase an RV for full-timing. Right now we're looking at a 1992 Tioga Montara listed for $5500. The owners have let us know that there were some leaks when they first purchased it years ago, but that they have since patched them up and haven't had any further issues. There is a small bubble on the edge of the inside ceiling in one spot. I realize this is almost a 30 year old coach and expect there to be some problems. Would you personally consider an issue like this to be a deal breaker? Are there any ways I would be able to better determine whether there's been extensive water damage or not? I'm planning to get whatever RV I decide on inspected before purchasing, but don't want to waste the time and money if the bubble on the ceiling would be considered a huge red flag to someone with more experience. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this and I welcome any and all advice!4.4KViews0likes21Comments
