I considered for a while whether to post this thread but I'm hoping for some reassuring advice.
This is a 2008 3400RE that I purchased just six months ago. I talked to the previous owners and got a positive report. The husband's wife was stricken with a serious ailment and the trailer was in storage for the majority of their ownership. He stated they only took two trips. When we were looking at the trailer we noticed that the previous owner had not even used the stove nor the central vacuum, everything look brand new. Clean as almost new.
Below I have posted the things that I have had to fix/replace. I'm hoping someone will tell me that I have probably fixed all the glitches and can enjoy my Bighorn. I'm slowly loosing confidence.
But I'm hanging in there hoping for better days..
Beginning to wonder if this was his real reason to get rid of this fifth-wheel.
