Carfax on used motorhome?
I'm looking at a couple of used motorhomes and wondered if a Carfax or something similar can be found for RV's. ????

A Jaguar that we had was totaled in an accident and we were paid for the vehicle. Two months later the Jag had a clean Carfax report and it was sold to an overseas buyer.
Carfax depends on the insurance companies and repair shops reporting the damage. No report to Carfax and the vehicle history stays clean. If you, as a shop, or insurance company, are trying to sell a vehicle, it may be in your best financial interest NOT to report any damage.
After hurricane Sandy I am sure that there are many RV's that suffered water damage. As we have seen with other major disasters, it is pretty common for damaged vehicles to be moved from the affected area to be sold. No Carfax report can replace a very thorough inspection by a qualified mechanic to discover hidden damage or other hidden problems.
