2007 Dynasty Platinum IV

Thinking about trading my Alpine for a Dynasty. Looking at one with 57000 miles. It has Aqua Hot which I have in my Alpine and I'm not a lover of the system. Aside from the AH, does anyone have any thoughts or ideas as to what to look for in looking over and around the coach. I do like the layout and this one already has the computer desk so there's one less thing to add. BTW, has anyone traded out the table and chairs for a dinette?
Thanks for any help you can give me. Feel free to email.

My number one issue would be checking the engine serial number for possible wrist pin issue. We walked from an 07 for that reason. Other cosmetic issues might be reflected in an offer such as cracking Diamond shield, $700 to remove and $1300 to replace, flakey chrome mirrors, $200 for a base and $900 for each mirror, torn slide seals, $800 each, replacing old electronics, foggy window glass, etc. Is this from a dealer or private party? If from a dealer check and see where they got it. Many in our area are coming from auctions across the country. No owner history, no dealer knowledge. They just turn and burn them for huge profits.

On the assumption that it is similar to my 07 Camelot, check the condition of the cables on the curb side bedroom slide.

I don't th9nk the Dynasty uses cable slides. On our 08 the curbside is hydraulic. The 2 front slides are also hydraulic. The road side bedroom slide is electric but I think it is gear driven (not sure)
