RVs are a great purchase for people who love road trips. When your accommodation and transport are all in one vehicle, it broadens your options for when and where you can travel. 

But RVs are expensive. That’s why a lot of people are buying a used RV instead of a new one. This comes with some risks though, so it’s important to know what to look out for. 

Keep reading to learn more about what to consider when you purchase a used RV.

General Maintenance

The biggest difference you’re likely to notice between new vs. used RVs is the general maintenance and upkeep of the vehicle. While new RVs shouldn’t have any issues, the state of an older one will depend on its age and the upkeep of the previous owner. 

RVs need regular maintenance to keep them in good condition. Unless the RV was barely used, you’re probably going to have to make some updates if you purchase a used RV. 

With a little bit of effort, you should be able to get your used RV looking brand new. If it requires more attention than that then you should attempt to negotiate the price down. 

Electrical Systems

The electrical system of your RV can take a while to fix. This is why one of the best buying tips for RVs is to get the electrical systems checked out before purchasing. 

Electrical systems take a while to figure out what exactly is wrong with them. This means you’ll spend a lot of money trying to fix up faulty electrics. Rather avoid them completely. 

Reputable sellers typically check the electrical systems before selling the RVs. For this reason, it’s always better to buy from a store rather than a private seller. Click for more info. 

Heating and Cooling

When you’re living out of your vehicle, heating and cooling is a lot more important than in regular cars. 

Always check the AC unit for leaks and ask about any maintenance it’s had.  Make sure you test how well the AC unit works, for both heating and cooling, before making any commitments. 

Water Damage

Water damage is a serious problem for RVs. In such a small and humid space, there’s a big chance of mold starting to grow. 

Inspect the RV for mold clusters, water stains, and rust. Check the waterproofing around all the doors and windows. 

Roof Damage

Since the RV roof is usually just sheets of metal, it’s easily damaged. The roof needs an annual coating to protect it from the elements. Ask the seller for a record of how recently this was done. 

Look out for bends, holes, rust, or any weak spots in the roof. An official roof inspection is always encouraged. 

Buying a Used RV

Buying a used RV is a great alternative to purchasing a new vehicle. If you keep these tips in mind, you’re sure to find a used vehicle that is just as good as a new one, but for a much lower price.
