Okay. Let’s do this.
Ensure that the dealer or individual understands that you will be scheduling an inspection. They will more than likely require a deposit to hold the unit for that date — obtain documentation that it is a refundable deposit.
After discussing a date that works for all parties and signing our contract to hold the date, please let the seller know that we will need the following to conduct a thorough inspection:
full propane tank(s), if applicable
One third tank of gas, minimum (for the generator to operate)
access to 30/50Amp electrical outlet and the 30/50Amp electrical cord
filled water tank (for water pump)
adequate space around the RV in order to fully extend slides and awnings.
Day of Inspection.
The day of the inspection is a long one — 6-8 hours for both of us to focus on every aspect of the interior and exterior of the vehicle. You can expect that in 24-48 hours, you will receive a link and a password to view your report and ~300-500 photos and videos. A secondary Request List is also created that can be provided to the dealership in order to discuss repairs or assist in negotiations.
