Glad you joined the lifestyle and found this wonderful forum! Expect to find a lot to fix but remember the systems involved are actually pretty basic. If you’re “handy” you’ll have fun, learn lots and end up with a nice rig. I’d start by spending an hour or two on the roof on your hands and knees and on a ladder checking for potential leaks. Water intrusion is a number one RV killer and even new ones develop leaks regularly. You’ll be looking for an even, unbroken, well stuck bead of sealant around every window, fixture, seam and penetration. You’ll probably find areas that need to be addressed and you’ll want to use self leveling RV lap sealant on the roof and urethane caulk on the sides. Don’t recommend using silicone no matter how tempted you may be to do so. Good advice to do several short local trips using every system to build a to do list. Don’t forget to have fun!
