Dale Earnhardt's 1997 Newell Coach: I ALMOST Bought It! (Tour and Inspection)

What happens here

The creator finally locates the RV and begins an initial exterior inspection. He notes that the paint, despite appearing better on camera, shows significant wear and tear in person. He discovers several signs of neglect and damage, including mismatched tires, dry rot on some tires (some dated 2005), a broken front windshield, and general disrepair, indicating that the RV has been stationary for a considerable time. He also finds that the exhaust system has been poorly patched with a coffee can and rivets, and the air leveling system appears faulty.

Goal: Inspect the RV's exterior for condition and identify major issues
