Buying a 2005 ADVENTURER 38J

[Trish4801]

I am in the process of buying a 2005 Winnebago ADVENTURER 38J 12,989 miles on it, next week is closing on the 25th. Sadly I can't leave till the 27th. It's a 17 and 1/2 hour drive from here in Kansas to Pennsylvania where it's located.

I'm taken my husband, who has said he will not drive it, and my sister (x school bus driver) to train me how to drive something that big. I figure I have 1,180 miles to get it right.

Husband will drive Cadillac Xt5 home since I'm not set up to tow it yet. We will also have car incase of catastrophic failure. Which I'm hoping not.

Plan on not doing the whole 17 and 1/2 hours in one day and finding a camp Walmart on way home. Sleeping in rv.

The tires are 5 years old but I'd like to get it home and get tires here.

inspection is today. Since I'm buying sight unseen, and the trip I made to look at virtually the same type unit to Orlando Florida. Got there and the big slide on drivers side was falling out. Not a complete loss, was able to go to Universal while there. I feel better having an inspection.

Is there anything in anyone's mind that would be a deal breaker? The couple is an older couple, the guy has mobility issues and can no longer walk from house to rv. It has a few bumps, dings and scratches from things they have bumped into. I'm getting it for 22,000 which is below book value. I've also bought a new jack knife couch and a chair that makes into a bed from Amazon. I currently have an rv on demand hot water heater in my cart. Claims it fits all rv's. I haven't pulled the trigger on it, it's a bit north of 500, and I'm kinda waiting to see inspection report.

So excited
