Default Water damage around entire back section

Just purchased 2000 200v
The many ? I asked let me know if any leaks so I can deAL with it first
NO LEAKS. THEY SAY

It has been raining in southern Ontario and there is water coming in one door exhaust fan rubber seal back window but worse
THE WHOLE BACK AREA AROUND
THE MATERIAL IS SOAKED FROM HALF WAY DOWN TO BOTTOM. I FIND ONE CUSHION WRAPPED IN PLASTIC. PLASTIC IS INSIDE SO U DONT SEE IT
I AM A WOMAN ALONE IN THIS JOURNEY AND THIS IS EXTREMELY HARD TO TAKE
the back window which does not open I can take to a glass place but the rest starting mid way down means finding the leak Taking out fiber board n material to toss etc etc
I thought I was dealing with honest people
The little things like no safety catch on belt for seating
I live in apt and I am a senior so no where to work in this or able to pay someone to do it

That is a bummer. When I bought my 99C200V, the rear walls and bed were rotten from so much leaking. I tore it all out and replaced it. The fiberglass body behind the rear wall panels were like new. Water isn’t going to hurt it. It is time consuming, but not difficult. I don’t mean to sound rude, but why would someone buy a 22 year old camper and not be able to work on it, or afford a shop? These old campers require lots of little fix it’s and sometimes major repairs. There will be lots of things to fix. Paying a shop to do it all is usually quite cost prohibitive. My advice would be to get handy with your tools real quick, or bail out and sell it before it drives you crazy.

Do you have it in writing "no leaks"?

If "Yes" then asked the Seller which would they prefer, paying an Attorney or refunding your money?
