I should have asked about the air conditioner before buying this used RV

I got so excited about buying an RV that I didn’t do my due diligence with researching them before signing paperwork to purchase one. Somehow in my mind I was thinking that any issues with an RV could be solved with two or three trips to the mechanic. Unfortunately, there are some issues that are worse than others with any kind of vehicle, let alone a motorhome. For one, you’d most likely want to avoid purchasing a vehicle with a broken transmission unless you had one available from another car that was scrapped for parts. Even then, I still wouldn’t do this if I was an auto mechanic myself. With the RV, it drives on the road fine and there are no serious problems with the engine that my mechanic and I can find in our inspections. However, the carpet inside the RV needed to be ripped out and replaced with vinyl flooring. The worst problem with the RV is the broken air conditioner in the sleep space. I asked about the cockpit air conditioner only, assuming that the seller would notify me if there was an issue with the other air conditioner as well. I guess it’s on me to ask as many questions about an RV before agreeing to purchase it from the seller. Still, it annoys me that I’ll have to pay for a new air conditioner to put in the sleeping area of the RV. At least it gives me a chance to put a better air conditioner inside than the old one that is in there right now. I know that I’ll get better fuel mileage from the upgraded RV air conditioner.
