How old is too old? (RV)

...and the possibility of any water leaks, that was mentioned before. If moisture has made in through the roof or any of the seams there could be major $$$$$ damage to the internal structure. But it also could just be a sweet deal with a few headaches and known expenses that would be expected over time...like those tires, a generator that hasn't been run, etc.....

Thank you all for the help ! Everything looked good till I climbed on the roof and found a small pond of water over the cab. I'm Learning !!!! Thank you so much for all the input and help. Vicki (ticer)

If that water was ON the roof and not finding it's way inside, might not be a problem ... easy to fix.

The price now dropped to $10,000- but I think I CHICKENED OUT

How could you fix a low puddle spot on roof ??? would it always be a problem?

You know where the water was pooling on the roof. I'd go inside and, with a finger, poke around. I think that if there were any issues on the roof you could feel a qualitative difference in how the ceiling felt. Is the puddle near a vent? If so, inspect the seams around the vent from the inside. Not knowing what this particular roof is made out of, it could just be a bit of warping without any leaks. Hard to tell unless you inspect it closely. If that's the only thing you found wrong, I'd think about it -- especially if you can inspect the ceiling and it seems solid.

One thing I've noticed about looking at older rigs is the smell. If there's been a leak somewhere you can smell it. There's a definite mustiness that's hard to ignore. So take a good whiff and see what you think.

Have fun looking!
