Buying a used RV – what to look for?

Question:

hehe, I too now realize the importance of this.

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – WHATEVER YOU DO, insist on the seller providing the tire inflation record. I have never realized the importance of doing this until just recently, and this group has made me aware of it. If someone has properly inflated the tires over the life of the vehicle, you can bet they have been obsessive/compulsive over every other square inch of the rig, and it will be in tip top shape. Hope this helps. Steve Illegitimi non carborundum.

Or, it could be, the o/c person was so wrapped up in maintaining the tire pressures, they completely ignored the rest of the rv and it’s a piece of crap with really great tires<g.

Steve, Steve, Steve — don’t ya know hit hain’t nice to make fun of retarded individuals with psychiatric disorders!?  We should all be ashamed. . . .  but I admit some of us are guffawing shamelessly!!

http://www.rv.org/  they have publications concerning those issues probably worth a read before spending thousands of dollars. Glenn We’re thinking of buying an RV for those longer trips.  We have a ‘69 VW van and it’s just too small, wimpy-engined, and uncomfortable (no heater or A/C).  But I want to stay small.  We’ve drooled over the RoadTrek but to be honest it’s a lot more than we need.  I’m thinking of maybe a small class C, like an older Dolphin or Chinook perhaps? What are some of the things to watch out for when looking at old RV’s? How can we tell if the wood is rotten behind the siding, or the roof is likely to leak, or whatever?  Any tips, stories, etc. would be welcome. –Bill. —
