Hello all,
My wife and I have been looking at a 2016 Landmark 5th wheel online. We have not personally seen it, but I think we've looked at one locally (looked at a bunch over the last few months and they tend to blend together) and we like the layout, especially the 1 & 1/2 bath. We have made an offer contingent on an inspection which was just done. The only major issues found were soft spots in the roof 6" in from the curbside and streetside edge and over the entry door. There is damage above the entry door as well. Tires are 7 years old, but we planned on replacing them anyway. One leveling jack has a bent plate, but that seems easy to replace. Last issue, or at least seems an issue to me, is the fridge temp was measured as 40F and the freezer was 20F. This is a residential fridge and I would expect temps to be about 34F and 0F like my house unit. Is it different in an RV? The owner says the warranty has 3 more years on it so that would be a 10 year warranty.
So, I have a couple of questions. One, what is the typical warranty coverage and length? Two, would a roof replacement at 6 years be out of the ordinary?
Current owner is 2nd owner and according to the inspection the owner stated no maintenance has been done outside of consumables (water filters). There are seals in need of replacing, but those are minor issues that I can probably take care of.
We are newbies at this and admittedly are diving in head first, but we're also working to make sure we know how deep the water is so we don't crack our skulls open. Thanks in advance for any input. We'll need to make a decision soon on this one (or any other RV we look at for that matter, but this one within the next day or so).
Regards,
Tom
