Our first camping trip details are now online for those of you interested... http://rv-experience.blogspot.com/2011/04/first-camp.html I still love it!

Thanks John... I actually found writing about it to be very therapeutic... I plan on continuing the blog for my benefit and hopefully other newcomers can benefit from our experience! Tommy

Thanks for the responses. Good suggestions. However, this unit is actually 4 hours away from us. We went to drive it yesterday with the expectation we were buying it only to discover this problem. I was hoping someone on the forum had direct experience with this sort of issue. I am waiting to hear from the dealer's service department on Monday. Regards, Tommy

I am considering buying a used Diesel Pusher. It is a 1998 Fleetwood Discovery. It is extremely clean, and is affordable to us. The problem is that I noticed a bulging ridge on the exterior wall near the door. It runs vertically to the left of the window for a few feet. I have read about delamination, however this is not flexible but rigid and will not give when pressing on it. Inside the coach there is evidence of water damage as well on the interior wall. The question is if the water leak is stopped, how serious is this bulge to the coach. Should I stay away from this purchase? The price for this Diesel and how great the condition of rest of the coach is make me want to pursue it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Tommy
