A used RV can be a steal of a deal…or can be full of hidden issues that end up costing a fortune in repairs. Use the following buying tips to help you find a quality camper, then visit Pete’s RV Center to shop used campers for sale.
Learn About the Used RV’s Past
Ask for a copy of the camper’s maintenance records. Did the past owner keep up with preventative maintenance? If not, there may be expensive repairs and parts replacements waiting around the corner.
It’s also helpful to look for red flags, such as previous collisions or repeat maintenance issues. Make sure those problems have been fully addressed and won’t cause you any headaches.
If possible, find out why the past owner decided to sell their camper. If they continually encountered maintenance or performance issues, those could plague you as well!
Inspect the Used RV
Thoroughly look over the various camper parts and systems. Check the various nooks and crannies for signs of water damage, mold and mildew growth, pest infestations, and other issues. Make sure that everything is in good working order. If the used RV will need any repairs, be sure to include that expense in your budget.
