I'm checking out a 1970 motorhome later this week. I'm confident with checking out the frame and mechanics, but I wasn't sure if there was a good way to find rot without simply poking my fingers and toes on the ceiling/walls/floor.
When we bought our trailer there was more rot than good wood, which I expected, so I wasn't too concerned with identifying it all ahead of time. With this motorhome, I'm hoping for less of a tear-down project, and more of a beautification project.
Here's the craigslist ad. It's a 1970 Apollo, Dodge 440 engine, International Harvester frame. This model is supposed to have a full fiberglass roof cap, which I'm hopeful will have kept the water damage to a minimum.
