2005 National Sea Breeze

The tv antenna or where the satellite cables enter the roof would be the first place I would start, based on the pics.

If you not doing all of your own work, than dump it ASAP, for the cost of labor will empty your wallet long before the cost of parts will.

Atta boy....you can do this. If I lived anywhere near you, I'd offer my help. I love these kind of projects.

Was your drive problem a fuel filter. Keep us posted on how it's going

[Caguama12]

I think you meant, start with fuel....and matches!

[Deny]

Yes, it is a fuel issue....dirty filters (start there first) check hoses, put in fresh gas, try again. Could be your gauge is a liar. If it ran really rich..ie black fuel Rich smell...could be a sunk float (floats will do that)

Go for it....there might be 3 gas filters.....old fuel lines can work fine, until fuel level drops to a point where stronger suction sucks air.

My first uneducated RV purchase was a 1998 Sea Breeze. The guy that sold it to me is probably still laughing.
My fun quickly turned into a money pit. Didn't know what to inspect pre-sale, trusting the seller. Water damage is the root of all evil and never goes away. Your unit appears to have been left for years uncovered in a field or a lake. Repair shop finally said they couldn't in good conscience take any more money from me. When I leaned on an interior wall and my hand went through, I basically gave it away, lost thousands. If you have to keep it, have an RV inspection done on everything, tires, structure, AC, Heat, appliances, tanks, everything! I wish you better results than I had. It's not the brand, all maintenance.

I bought a 1996 Monaco dynasty for 9500 bucks because of water damage. Had to tear up the floors down to the frame. I have some carpenters skills and was able to fix this for about 1500 bucks. Have made 5 trips to Minnesota from San Diego and back with it and it’s the best motor home I have ever owned. However in 96 it was top of the line and new ones still are. I paid 250 K for a brand new one in 2009 and wound up in a dispute with the manufacturer and just said come and get it. It was a pos. Then by good fortune came across the Monaco. Took some work but it’s the best rig I have ever owned, and it’s paid for!

if it ran ok for 200 miles its probly ok. bad gas maybe or crud from the bottom of the tank. drive train probly ok. get up on the roof and check for soft spots.if you fall thru...
the drive train is worth some $$. how many miles on it? national made good mh's. the frame is all metal i believe. if your roof is still solid, clean the front and rear caps and reseal with dicor. no one knows what you have til you do more investigating. no one knows sight unseen, doesn't matter how smart they think they are
my 05 seabreeze roof is epdm.

There's a great probability the roof is fiber glass. National didn't go cheap.

Run away as fast as you can and don’t look back it’s no such a thing as a RV “ fixer upper”

If the roof is rubber there is two types of rubber material. They must be treated/ repaired different. Epmd and tpo rubber. Best i rember epmd is white on top and black on bottom while tpo is white all way thru. Drop bath vent or inside a/c trim to maybe see some trim tab piece of orginal roof.
Good luck with er
