If you have been thinking of buying a used RV then you need to know what to look for so you get the best value for your money.
One of the first things you need to know is how the RV has been stored. This may not seem like it’s that important, but an RV that has been stored outside without any cover can weather quickly and start leaking in just a few short years.
Used RV’s that have been kept under cover are usually better maintained and are in better shape overall.
If you are buying an RV from an area where the temperatures often drop below freezing, make sure that the RV has been winterized each winter to prevent cracking of the water tank, water lines, waste tanks, and the drains under the sinks.
Many people forget to pour RV antifreeze into the sinks and the drains end up breaking when the water in them freezes.
Go through and test each of the appliances to make sure that they are all in good working order. This includes the water pump, space heater, water heater and even the generator if the RV has one. No body should have a problem with you doing this if everything is in working order.
Ask for maintenance records. This is especially important with motor homes as you need to know if the RV has been well maintained.
Before you go down to your local used RV dealer you should look and see what’s available on eBay. eBay has an excellent selection of used RV’s at very affordable prices.
No mater where you live in the United States, eBay should have a used RV at a great price near you.
Here are some of the RV’s that are on eBay.
