I would say hire an inspector before you fly in.. I had found a MH in TX (not terribly far from Dallas) and considered flying out to get it or look it over. I hired an inspector for less than the cost of a flight and rental car to get to MH. Turned out the seller was misrepresenting the MH. Pictures were all 4-5 years old, from when it was new. It was scratched, needed recaulking and had several issues that needed attention, indicating it had not had all the preventative maintenance it needed. That money I paid to the inspector was well worth the cost. He was great and really walked me through his report.
Good thoughts.
We are going to VA anyway. Cashed in award miles for airfare, and for rental car, and for hotel. Plan B is to make it a vacation visiting DC, exiting by plane if the RV isn't suitable. My son is on vacation this next week, and work schedules work well for this adventure.
I am not an RV expert, and have not owned one previously, however we have one that we use at work, that tows a kitchen trailer. Both are RV type house systems. I'm usually the guy that gets tasked with fixing those.
More curious if there are some must haves, that I've forgotten on my list. Things that are a bit unique to motorhomes, like the square drive bit etc.
I have a cell phone, google and credit card. That will solve most issues.
