Well trying to catch up here.


We purchased for a low price a 26ft Midas. My main question to the owner. Are there any roof leaks. "NO" well it was the middle of winter, and was hard to check. "Any rotted wood is frozen solid"


So we drive it home and park it, the winter ends, and we discover that we have an issue.


I could not get a good look at the outside roof due to snow and ice on it. But, as I was checking out the cab over with the snow melting, I noticed a bump in the middle. I got out my old screw driver and started to poke and found a soft spot.


I decided to rip the peace of wood down, and found a nasty surprise.


There had been a roof vent over the cab over, and someone just covered it with paneling from the inside and left the opening exposed to the elements.
This is not good, and I was contemplating my next decision, but decided we will stick with this. Now I know why this was 1/2 to 1/3rd the price of other units. And here I thought it was due to the middle of winter.
