Et.al,
Update:
Had to delay for the inspection. I was in the process of moving from California to Mississippi.
There was no reason to have a mobile RV repairman come because the seller did not tell me the MAIN issue with the 5th. wheel. When the seller was in Wyoming, he had the hail-storm occur and it did extensive damage that wasn't easily seen on photos. Not only roof, but both sides as well.
As I stated earlier, the entire roof and ACx3 were replaced. However, here is the MAIN issue; the kitchen/living area slide (14' foot section) had some previous issues with some warping and retraction/extending problems. The owner informed me that between the hail damage and the slide problems, it was estimated to take several months for parts and repairs once insurance got involved. This was late 2020 and the closest repair location was shut-down. So, instead of waiting for parts/repair, the owner removed the entire slide, and just enclosed it back with the original wall and windows. So, basically it is just the original interior/exterior wall(s) without and slide. The only working slide was the one up front. I did contact the RV repairman just to see what the parts/labor/time would be, and it was not worth all the cost OR hassle. So it was a waste of time on my part. I thank everyone who posted and had all the information ready to put to use. I was a little apprehensive at first about this 5th wheel and now I see why.
