Doing all that I would have them check all systems, slides, water, charging, batteries, heater, water heater, etc for issues & notify you of any issues they find. You can then decide if you want it repaired. Your spending allot with the scheduled repairs and don't want to leave to find you have a leaky water heater.

Wow,

Just the roof alone could run 6 to 7k installed, I wonder if this is the trailer listed for sale in
Columbus Ohio.

But as other have stated I would check everything from front to back, if your investing that much money
into a trailer (which BTW is a very nice unit when made) I would go thought everything top to bottom
from to back for sure ...

All I can say WOW !!!

We did some of the same things with are old Coachmen Chappy but didn't do the rug nor

kitchen tile nor had to fix a rotted floor ... Did upgrade all the marker lights new LED lights

not just the bulbs ... Traded it in for what I had invested so i figure I didn't loose anything,

someone got a really nice trailer at a great price... I was getting scared that it would start

to nickel an dime us even thought I did allot to the old girl it was time to trade her off

for a newer trailer with more room
