Hello, just curious if anyone out there still has their 2009 171? Looking at one tomorrow, wondering if there's anything I should know.
Thanks in advance!

I owned a 2010 171 for 5 years.  I would check for any water damage,  run the hot water heater, refrigerator, furnace, air to make sure they work.  Check the underside for any damage, loose panels.  Check tire wear,  tow it for a few miles to see if it tows right .  Try the stove, tv,radio,  Has the mattress been replace with a aftermarket?.  Do the windows work well?  No water stains, check the blinds.  Does the floor show any damage?.  How about the decals, has it been stored properly off season?  Does it look well cared for?  Any cracks or deformation on the outside?  Make yourself a check list.  Ask questions.

I forgot.   Check the battery, charging system and convertor.  Take the covers of the battery it should be full to the top all cells.
