Buying an RV through a dealer or private seller?

Some of you seem to think most Used RV Dealers are a different breed than most Used Car Dealers......

Please note I said MOST in case there are any Used Car or RV Dealers here.

Whether you're buying private or dealer, you need to be able to plug it, hook it up, and make sure everything works. Check the roof, moldings, windows, vents, etc. for signs of leaks and tight caulking. A thorough inspection of the unit is essential. As mentioned, once you hand over the cash or sign, it's yours.
