The best thing you can do is do some internet searching and look for pre-purchase inspection check lists, or PDI inspection check lists. There are many "out there" and some are more detailed than others. You can also jump onto YouTube.com videos and watch the many, many, many videos on virtually any RV subject, problem, make, brand, or model anyone can think of. Then go visit different RV dealership and spend some time exploring new and used campers. See what you really like, what you don't like, were you find defects, poor craftsmanship, and what kinds of changes previous owners made that were not original from the factory.

Personally, I'm NOT impressed with RV inspectors. Actually, I'm completely not impressed with house inspectors either.

But, the most important thing you can do is .... if you find a camper you think you really, really like and may want, but then you discover something defecient with it.... don't be afraid to walk away from the deal. Because, AFTER the purchase, you are stuck with all those things you did not like, have to repair yourself, and if there is one problem exposed, you'll discover a dozen you didn't see at all until it's too late.

Educate yourself. Be your own guide. Follow your head .... NOT your heart!
