I am thinking of keeping a log of repairs, etc. This seems like a no nonsense forum. I love that. I don’t offend so if it is your opinion I should drive this rig off a cliff feel free to express yourself. I won’t get offended at you comments if you don’t get offended if I don’t follow all your advice.
2000 Dutchmen Express 29.5’ on a Chevy frame 23,000 miles. Aluminum frame
Known Problems:
Leaking overhang front window
Water damage to overhang floor (significant), lower 6” of overhang walls
Water damage under Master bedroom emergency window - lo we half of wall needs replaced as well as some delamination in that area
I suspect all windows and every seam needs attention, calk, tape, etc. Roof needs re-coated although ceiling, upper walls all look and feel solid.
20 year old water heater leaks and needs replaced
Holding tanks need thoroughly cleaned and treated (Borax, Dawn, maybe ice)
clean water system as a precaution
need to explore TV options
Need to learn how storage batteries are supposed to work and check condition of these.
Good points:
All appliances and A/C work - nice size refrig with upper and lower doors
no obvious exterior seam damage
carpet and floor surprisingly good
low mileage
lots of gear and supplies included
