Weekender by Skyline 1010 Truck Camper

I just read a similar post asking about a Caribou camper ... I'm looking at a 1994 "Weekender by Skyline" model M1010EXT. Any thoughts on this? Let me qualify by saying that I really wanted a used Lance 9.5 foot unit, and have just missed or hesitated too much on several deals. I am very aware of Lance quality, probably equaled or surpassed only by Bigfoot, Northernlite, Arctic Fox and perhaps Alpenlite. This Weekender is 1/2 the price of a comparable Lance (I will get it for $3000 or less, and it is clean w/electric jacks, a Superhitch and Torklift tie downs for a Ford and otherwise normal equipment, no gen). Additionally, this is a step into RVing that could go down two commonly traveled paths ... we might love it, use it a lot and move into what we learn to be the more ideal RV later, or it sits in the yard except for a once a year trip or is simply in-law quarters (probably worth the investment for that feature alone!). Unless I find out that Weekenders are the worst POS ever made, I'm not sure how I can go wrong. Any thoughts?
