Considering 2011 3400RL - problems to look for?

[Narnia]

Hi everyone! We are going to see one tomorrow and wondering if there are any potential problem areas to look for.

For one...I had read a thread about roof problems. How do you check for this?

The one that we're going to see...they have taken up all the carpet per the owner's request, because he felt that there was a problem with the water tank leaking, but they said that there were no signs of water damage anywhere on the floor.

I wonder what kind of problem he had, to order to ask them to strip the carpet? Could it have leaked to the underbelly? If so, how would we check for that?

Thanks for any insight you can give!

Welcome to the forum! This is a great place to learn and share.

If you have no experience with RVs, recommend you take someone with you that does.

Open up every door inside and out and look for water damage or other issues. Make sure everything works in all modes, such as the rig on gas and electric. Climb up on the rood and look for bubbles, tears and soft spots.

Having the carpet removed is a good thing - most of those older rigs were fully carpeted. You will find folks that disagree but I would tell you carpet doesn't belong in an RV. It just makes it harder to clean. I would want them to put some sort of flooring down though or you'll need to do it later.

Good luck!
