It would help to know where you plan to cross. 

I've been reading on a DPS website on the wait time for DL renewals. We might takethis into consideration when the time comes.

I have used Sikaflex caulk for years.

The Topwater grill has great seafood. If you want a good steak, go to T Bone Tom's n Kemah. 

I really never bought my 100 gallon tank, expecting to pay for itself. It's all about the convenience of not having to refill on the road with the trailer. We stop every hour and a half or so depending on the wife's bladder.

Then I can shop around for the best price when we reach our destination.

I upgraded my 16k hitch to  Reese 20k a few years ago and had no luck in selling ot. I went to two hitch stores and they told me that no one was looking for that light of  hitch, so I gave the old one away.

I used a Carryout antenna on a tripod base for about 8 years and had no problems with theft. I did have one that was damaged by the yard cutting crew but they bought me a new one.

My latest fifth wheel is the easiest to set up/take down that I have ever owned and I've owned 7, starting with a popup. This one has an air pinbox for an easy ride, Level-Up, powered electric cord with a 33' cord on it so I never have to use an extension cord and a roof mounted power television antenna. The only physical work I have to do is connect up the water and sewer lines.

If you're talking a 3 year old unit, owned by  couple with no children or pets that took it out twice a year for vacations, about a hundred miles away, thats one thing but if it's a 7 year old unit that was lived in 9 months a year by a family of 5 with three dogs, two cats and a macaw, that's another. Most people don't want to spend every weekend working on a new-to-them trailer, having to replace expensive appliances before pulling out for the first trip. 

Base that against a new-good brand of trailer that you hook up to and go, the first week of ownership, realizing that small things will break, screws tightened etc. and being fairly handy, they do their own repairs and enjoy it. 

Heartland builds a quality unit. As far this one goes, I would check for delamination on the exterior due to water intrusion. Check all caulking and rubber gaskets, and the obvious signs of damage and a lack of care. All appliances should work and have no signs of damage or neglect. You would want to check the suspension and tires. Check the build dates of all tires including the spare.
