    Don't buy Anything from Camper World. Once they have your money expect them to be real slow to do warranty work. RV dealers are choking on inventory, prices by summer will drop quite a bit. I should add that most units across the brands produce a camper with at least 2 problems, they know it, still ship the units so inventory on the lots now was hastily manufactured.

    Slide outs are fine. They can be a source of leaks. Pine straw and leaves getting into the seals will cause a nice leak. I would definitely check the roof over on a used camper.

    Soft floors. Wet spots water stains in cringe around walls windows. Slide outs. Smooth operation of slide outs. Ac refrigerator operation. General stuff. Tires axles. And such.

    They are all pretty much built the same. One company may build a few different brands.
    Go to a dealer and look at different brands and models then search for the one you want.
    Used ones may save a lot of money but you may inherit someone else's headaches.

    I use to be on a facebook group, rvs for newbies. I picked up a few maintenance shortcuts. Copied and stored in an email folder. When someone asked I was ready to copy and paste. Seems every few days someone was asking the same questions. Guess I hurt someone's feelings and was kicked off.
    Amazon dot com can save you money on supplies. Better prices than dealers.
    Being under a roof would be better than sitting out in the weather and traveling. No matter how good the product used to seal the roof the seams split causing leaks.
    Don't leave the toilet tank open all the time to drain. Not the same as a commode. I don't leave the drain hose connected to the sewer tap at campsites.

    Decor is some good stuff for roof sealing. Looks like marshmallow creme. It is for the most part self leveling. It does not set up completely so it can not get hard and crack.

    Sun is the biggest enemy of roofs and tires. If you keep it under a roof, you’ll eliminate 75 % of the common problems

    They also make skirts that snap on the bottom. Covers the tires and makes it more efficient to heat it
