Are inspections essential or not?
I'm landing on a 2007 Winnebago Access 29 Class C V10 with only 8000 miles on it, original owner, stored inside with maintenance receipts and new tires (second set because first ones got too old). Pr...

I would not pay anyone to do an inspection if I felt confident to know what to inspect for myself. It is not hard, especially if you have owned a motor home before. You already know areas of concern, and inspect for those concerns. Simple failures with simple fixes would not count to me.
As far as 8000 miles on a 11 year old 29 foot Aspect stored indoors, for $48,000. That sounds like a real "Gem" to me. I would have to find some very serious issues to pass it up. If that is the asking price, I would try to negotiate it down another $5000, but would not let the price interfere with the purchase.....assuming you don't find a serious problem. The only common serious problem would be water damage. Also look for undercarriage damage, any kind of physical damage and split seam work. You don't need to pay someone $400 to check for those things. Cracked-up caulk on the roof would be fine as long as there are no water stains inside, nor a musty odor. The caulk may have cracked while inside being stored. If buying the rig with cracked caulk, take care of it immediately.
