Why have an inspection? Let me share a personal story on an RV inspection. We hired a professional inspector to do an RV inspection on our New Tiffin Allegro Bus and during the inspection, he found several items wrong with our bus. One is the Emergency Window missing seals which would definitely cause several water issues later on. other items were not enough fluid in the Generator, and hanging lights were not attached. Electrical cord hanging in the cargo area. Missing accessories that were told were installed and found to be missing during the inspection. No water going to the outside faucet. When buying any RV whether it be a Pop-up or a Diesel pusher. it is always a great investment to have an inspection completed. it will save you money in the long run. it will give you peace of mind that you made a good decision or know more about your new purchase.
Here is an inspection that was performed on a 2022 Forest River Sandpiper. This was another brand new RV and we found over 17 items with issues. Some that would cause major issues with water damage over time. The new owner was extremely grateful for the inspection and used it as the negotiate with the RV dealer to get the items fixed prior to taking delivery. We have one goal in mind when we complete the inspection, which is to assist you in your decision to purchase.
Why an RV Inspection is important!! Here are several reasons why. This was an inspection performed on a 2022 Tiffin Allegro Bus 45FP. This was a brand new motorhome that the dealership would think would have no issues, But with the inspections, there were several items found that need immediate attention and some items are cosmetic items that would still cost money for any buyer to have.
