(1) "Center roof seam needs to be caulked. TM needs this every 2 or 3 years. It drips in a VERY heavy downpour."
and (2) "Fridge doesn’t light on propane. It needs an igniter ($30 part). Runs fine on electric which is how we always use it."
Is $10K for a 2002 2720SL a fair price? With the necessary repairs?
How much am I looking at to caulk the roof? And if it's known to drip in a heavy downpour, does that mean there's already possible damage to the frame? Is 2002 before or after they stopped using wood in the frames and switched to aluminum?
How easy is it to do the fridge conversion? I remember reading on here about it, but now I can't find the thread. Anyone have a link?
Anything else I should be worried about?
Thanks,
Rachel

Check to see if the fridge will light with a lighter. That fridge is over $1200. Sooner or later you will want it to run on propane. Plus, someday, you will want to sell this camper and the buyer will want it to work......"pay me now or pay me later"......
