\u00a0<\/strong>Buying a used RV can be a great way to find a quality rig without overspending. However, it\u2019s important to remember that buying a used RV is much like buying anything else used. Whether you are shopping on Facebook Marketplace or buying a used car from a dealer, you should always carefully inspect the item before completing the sale.<\/p>\n

That being said, we understand the excitement you may feel when buying a new RV. You\u2019re ready to hit the road and discover your new RV lifestyle, but letting that excitement cloud your judgment could cost you. That\u2019s why we\u2019re going to discuss five of the most important things to check when you\u2019re buying a used RV to ensure you don\u2019t end up with a lemon.<\/p>\n

Tip One: Sounds Too Good to be True…<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Not to be a cliche, but you know the saying. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If you\u2019re buying online, this is even more accurate. Never buy a used RV online from a non-reputable dealer without seeing it in person. If you aren\u2019t able to see the RV before you purchase, or in the event, the seller has asked that you complete the transaction without a walkthrough, your best option is to walk away from the sale.<\/p>\n

That being said, if you do go meet a seller, you want to be careful about meeting with a seller solo \u2014 especially if the meeting point isn\u2019t in a populated location. That\u2019s why it\u2019s best to consider if the deal sounds odd or not before you commit to a meeting, and always bring a friend if you can.<\/p>\n

Tip Two: Check for Leaks <\/strong><\/h3>\n

There are a few main places that you want to thoroughly check for leaks:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Interior Ceiling:<\/strong> Look for brown spots, peiling paint, or water marks. All of these issues point to evidence of water damage. While paint can be fixed, these spots point to more costly problems down the road including rotting materials, mold, or a leaky roof.<\/li>\n
  2. Interior Floors:<\/strong> As with the ceiling, brown spots can be a sign of leaks and mold. You should pay specific attention to the spaces where the floor and walls meet. Additionally, if you feel any bouncy spots or spaces where the floor gives away, that could also be an indicator of water damage.<\/li>\n
  3. Exterior Roof:<\/strong> This is one of the main areas that can cause significant issues with an RV. Make sure the roof doesn\u2019t have any damage, and that the caulk is sealed around the exterior of the RV as well as around any skylights or vents. If the caulk is black, crumbly, or cracking, that could be a sign that the RV is not properly sealed.<\/li>\n
  4. Exterior Floor: <\/strong>Underneath your RV is a world of storage compartments, water tanks and axles. However, this can also be a place for excess water to enter your RV, or for your air conditioning to leak out. While it may be difficult to complete this inspection before you buy the RV, you want to ask about the underside of the RV and poke around as much as you can to ensure the cabin is properly sealed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Tip Three: Rule Out Mold<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Even after you\u2019ve checked to ensure there are no leaks, you could still find the presence of mold which may signify recent leaks or additional moisture in the RV. Check the interior corners near the ceiling and floor for mold. You should take care to check in the bathroom, especially around corners and caulk. You can also open old cabinets and closets to check for mold, and you may even smell it.<\/p>\n

    While some mold can be removed, it\u2019s especially difficult to get rid of it in an RV. More importantly, mold can be a sign of leaks or water issues that can be costly to fix.<\/p>\n

    Tip Four: An Exterior Inspection<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    While you\u2019re checking for leaks, you should also complete a few other items on your exterior inspection:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Does the roof feel stable? <\/strong>While you were checking the exterior roof for potential leaks, did you feel safe and secure walking along the top of the RV? Let\u2019s be fair, many of us don\u2019t feel safe walking on the top of an RV, but the main point is, was there any give in the integrity of the roof as you walked? If so, it could be a sign of rotting.<\/li>\n
    2. How about the Walls? <\/strong>Push into the exterior walls with your hands to see if they give. They should be secure and not allow much movement.<\/li>\n
    3. Check the Exterior Panels. <\/strong>Are they wet? Are the screws and hinges rusty? Is the wood rotting? This could be a sign or water damage or unsealed panels.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      In short, anything that looks like rotting or mildew can be a sign of more serious issues to come down the road.<\/p>\n

      Tip Five: Drive it!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Circling back to our first tip, you can\u2019t feel confident about buying an RV without seeing it, and we recommend driving it too. You want to ensure you\u2019ll feel comfortable driving the RV. Even though you may not feel comfortable the first time driving it, you want to ensure the brakes work, that the engine sounds good, and that there are no odd sounds or shimmies as you drive down the road.<\/p>\n

      Bring A Friend<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      If you don\u2019t feel like you know enough about what to look for after reading these tips, don\u2019t be alarmed. This isn\u2019t something that people do every day, which is why it can be good to bring a friend. If they know anything about RVs, they can help you inspect the vehicle and ask the right questions.<\/p>\n

      Even if they don\u2019t know anything about RVs, having someone there to help you judge the character of the seller and the general condition of the RV may still be helpful. In the end, having moral support during a big decision is always valuable, no matter how you swing it.<\/p>\n
