2007 X210

[gduemke]

Hi - we are 99% committed to buy a used 2007 X210. We found a great deal with a dealer about 1000 miles away from us, so we are trying to figure out how to check both from a distance and when we are there to pick it up. We were just wondering what you guys think about the 2007 X210, what we should check, usual problems etc. Thanks

Greetings gduemke!

I do not own a 210 model, so I don't know of any issues with that model specifically, but there are a couple things to check with any used RV purchase. Unless it has been abused, a 2007 model should still be in great condition, just go through and open all drawers, raise and lower blinds, anything that moves, opens, closes, etc, try it out to make sure it still operates properly. Inspect the tires, make sure they not only have good tread and no blisters, but also look at the date stamp to make sure they are still in their life span. Trailer tires have a shelf life, you don't want to be traveling on old tires.

Check the shower surround to see if has warped and pulled away from the wall, that can lead to water damage later on. Most items you will find wrong will be easily repairable, and you can use them to negotiate a fair price.

Good Luck on the purchase!

Here's a site with a couple of checklists that you could use when you go to see it in person:

2007 210

We considered a new 2007 210 we found for 13,5 but looked at 2009 models cause of the improved finish and after 2007 roofs were slightly arched instead of flat. I don't know of issues with either.
