[QUOTE="kkoepper, post: 634982, member: 3240"] To add to what lowbudgetjunk said: If you are looking at a class C pay special attention to the front bunk overhang. Because of the way they are constructed, unless they have a full fiberglass cap, they are going to leak. Period. Very difficult to keep sealed. Check out the frame behind the rear wheels. Many have been modified to extend the length and the mods are barely sufficient to carry the weight of the RV, much less the extra stress of a trailer. Also check out the weight ratings for rear axle. Again, most are going to be marginal for the use you want. Class A's are less prone to leak, due to not having an overhang, but will still leak at roof joints and around windows. Look for deformed (delaminated) fiberglass siding under windows and any other openings on any RV. I love these things, but they are a constant maintenance item. After years of having motorhomes, I went to a toyhauler. Less to worry about. If repairs have been done right, which is not usually the case, don't be afraid of them. During my five years as an RV tech, and after that for myself, I've rebuilt a number of front caps and repaired a lot of water damage. These things are definitely a blessing to have, just realize that they need a lot of care to keep you happy. I still love them though. [/QUOTE]
