as the title says, looked at a Mallard today. The unit seems to be in good condition, faded paint but could not find a seam that looked loose or any sign of water intrusion. It has a slide and slide topper/awning which is in good condition. It was powered up so I could test all the systems and all seemed to work great.
The water heater and pump were replaced last yr. The owner had new 30 lb tanks and regulator installed last yr as well.
The only problem I found was a small soft area of the floor under the kitchen sink where the pump is. It is about 6 or 8 inches, roughly square. for the most part it is under the sink cabinet right next to the pump, except for about a 2 in by 3 in area just outside of the cabinet by the wall and the door.
I've read many replies that say run from soft spots, but he said he had the pump replaced because it started running pretty much constantly, only to find the line going from the pump had a small leak so this seems to fit with the soft spot.
Hes asking 5k. The tires are 2013 vintage Marathons.. tread and sidewalls look OK but I think I'd replace them just to be safe.
what do the experts think, should I pass or cut the offering price down for the soft spot and tires?
thanks!
