There was a post on this forum a month or so ago where a guy had purchased a used DX3, I think it was a 2016. He had a ton of serious issues like ceiling water leaks, cracks developing in the exterior walls, electrical issues, etc.
To be clear, IMHO these were not Dynamax issues, it sounded to me like the unit had been hit hard in the rear when the original owner had it. The rear cap had been replaced, etc. The point being, a really good PDI is critical but take it a step further. Check carfax to see if there is any record of the unit being in an accident but remember there are ways for vehicle that was in an accident to NOT show up on Carfax. For a purchase of this size, consider taking the unit to a business that does large RV body repair and have them check it inside, outside and underneath for any evidence of damage or major repairs. Also ensure the PDI includes a thorough roof inspection. Some of these rigs sit outside all of the time in harsh environments which can weather and crack skylights & seals, have insect nests that plug up vents, hail damage, and some people will sit on roofs to watch races when they aren't designed for that purpose.
This would apply regardless of what brand you are considering buying. Damaged rigs like the one referenced are probably few and far between but better safe than sorry.
