Hi Jan, and Welcome to our Forum! We are so happy to have you. I don't know if you are still contemplating that TrailManor, but I found this info for you..
******************************************************
The older Trailmanors used mostly wood in the construction, so a big thing to look for is wood rot. Take a screw driver with you, and tighten a couple screws at various places, and if they turn easily then beware of possible rot in that area. Also, the seams at the corners might show seperation.....beware of that. If the unit was kept dry with proper caulking, then that should help prevent those situations.....as in any wood on wood built RV.
Trailmanor began replacing wood with aluminum in the late 90s, and starting around 2003, they are built with all aluminum frames and skins.
Also, make sure all of the appliances work as intended. Raise and lower the shells to make sure they function correctly. If the torsion bars are adjusted properly, then 1 person can do that easily. The shells can always be adjusted, but in the older model Trailmanors I think they use shims instead of any adjustment screw.
There is tons of information on:
www.trailmanorowners.com.

I hope that helps.
We are glad to have you with us. Make yourself at home, and hurry back.
