Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
We're looking at buying a low mileage motorhome that has extensive stains on ceiling that has been touched up with paint. Looking on top of the roof, I find only some repairs around the AC units. Otherwise everything else up there looks well-sealed. The current owner says the seals under the units were replaced and that solved the leaks. Does this look like a correctly done job or is this something to be concerned about? I would appreciate the opinion of people who have had experience with roof leaks...
If I were serious about motorhome I would pull the A/C and look at frame work and all very close. Leaks can be minor in nature or could have been present for a long time and caused serious damage.
I would think it would deserve some close inspections.
Surprises are no fun.
Good luck,
Jim

Looks like it may be in need of a re-roof. Appears to be a bit of a POOR patch job. If it has been leaking for a while there could be some structural rotting/damage. In reality there are "a lot of fish in the sea".
I too would be concerned about rot, mildew or even mold. How long had the unit been leaking? How much water was able to enter the ceiling area? These are question you may not be able to answer until you open the ceiling.
