How to Inspect a Used RV for Sale
Buying used
RVs can be a much better deal than getting brand new ones because
they are, in general, more affordable while still offering the same
nifty features and amenities. However, this all depends on how well
you’ve inspected the unit before purchasing it. Some RVs may be
sold for cheap, but they could burn a large hole in your finances
with the repairs that they need to function well.
Water Damage
Check the flooring,
walls, cabinets, and any other surface for signs of water damage.
This might be caused by leaky plumbing in the RV, or a worn and
broken AC. You should also check the water lines themselves; if they
look like they have been recently replaced or repaired, step on the
floor right underneath them to check for soft, water-damaged spots.
Propane Tanks
Check the propane tanks
to ensure that your prospective RV is using the more modern and safer
models, and not the old brass connector types with large threads on
the outside. If it happens to be the latter, at least look for tanks
with reliable alarm systems that should warn you of potential gas
leaks.
Tires
Look at the tires and
check if they are worn. This will give you a good idea of how much
the unit was used by its previous owner. While you can always get
replacement tires, a run-down vehicle might need a lot more repairs
than you’re capable of paying for, so be sure to double-check.
