Drive it, and see how well it goes down the road, are there any road wander or steering issues? This seems to be a common complaint. Look at the maintenance records, what has been done or will need to be done. Condition of batteries and tires, how soon before they will need replacement. Any collision damage or water damage from leaking roof or windows. Have there been any recurring problems on the MH. Are all the electrical and water systems working properly. These are a few questions you could ask. One of the major problems associated with MH's would be the water leaks, and the damage it can cause. There are advantages and disadvantages to both gas and diesel,and how much driving you intend to do would come into play. But with this length MH the 454 engine would provide enough power. There are a number of members on the Forum that have models similar to the one you will be looking at and seem quite happy with them, perhaps they will be commenting too. I have an older model 1993 and enjoy it very much. Bottom line you can tell if the unit has been taken care of or not when you look at it. There are a lot of MH's out there for sale, so take your time and look around.Hope this helps . Randy
