When Your At The RV Dealership Looking To Buy
I know the answer BUT I cannot believe that these Rv places that take in an RV or buy one at auction don't pay the lot person 1/2 hour with a simple set of hand tools and simply go through the RV and ...

Its been discussed before. Something to the effect that RV dealers don't want to put more money into them than they must. They don't want to fix a cabinet door and then have some Looky-Lew come and rip it open again... then fix it and have someone else, then fix it and have someone else... etc. The same argument goes for cleaning. They figure no sense cleaning the RV and have a family wander through with muddy shoes and kids with grubby fingers. The other argument is some RV's don't sell as quickly and get taken to auctions. The dealer won't recoup any money he spent fixing/cleaning when it gets sold for wholesale.
Another argument is the cost of having an employee go through each and every RV after each and every customer showing and fixing things that get damaged.
Again, the argument is that once someone puts money down then the dealer will spend money cleaning and fixing whatever is agreed upon.
I don't agree with any of those arguments, but that is how they have been explained to me. It seems to me that people would be willing to pay a little more for a used RV from a dealer if they walked in and it was clean and in tip-top shape... otherwise why not buy it from a private seller for thousands less?
