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

What happens here

The creator enters the RV and proceeds with an interior inspection. He notes the dated interior, a microwave from 1999 (not original), and a washer/dryer unit. He also points out non-functional elements, such as one of the exhaust fans and a bathroom closet door that doesn't latch, which the seller attributed to a loose screw, a temporary fix that failed due to his wife's aggressive closing habits. He also notices significant water damage and mold around the refrigerator area, further indicating neglect.

Goal: Examine the RV's interior and test various appliances and features
