Default "Before You Buy" checklist

As we search for a gently used TM (no more than 10 yrs old), what would you suggest we be sure to lookout for? Leaning to a 2720SL if that makes a difference.
Other than checking in the wheel wells for damage during a blow out, and testing furnace, AC, etc do you have advice?

Love this site. The checklists by Ed Felker and the Manuel by Mike and Kelly are very helpful. Looking foward to having a TM!

Make sure when you pull out the front slider -- either lounge (SL) or dinette (SD) that the locking pins inside can be engaged into the holes in the "brackets". It is not always easy to get both aligned so they engage, at least on mine, but we always get it within a couple minutes. I guess making sure the brackets are there is another very subtle thing, especially if you find a TM at a non-TM dealer.
Happy hunting,
Mark

Thanks CAMark, that is the kind of info I am looking for. And I should also ask you about how your 04 Pilot pulls the 2720SL. We will be using a 03 Pilot with tow pkg as our TV. I have read many threads on the topic of Honda and WDH. Your opinion?
