Buying Used, a guide of what to look for.
Hello everyone!
I'm going to purchase an camper on Wednesday. A 2001 Dutchmen Lite travel trailer from Holiday RV in Iowa. Although we camp a lot, this will be our first camper. A descrpition and images can be found on their website, http://www.holidayrvusa.com/inventorydetails.php?id=376.
The trailer is fairly inexpensive but we are a young couple and I personally don't want my wife to be scared off of camping by buying a bad unit. I expect there to be some initial repair costs but is there anything major i should be checking?
My list so far includes-
-Plumbing
-A/C and Heater
-Kitchen Appliances
-Electronics
-Axels for signs of leaking or not being properly lubed
-Any cracks in the welds of the frame underneath
-Sun/Hail damage to the roof and rooftop A/C unit
Anything added to this would be great.
Thanks a bunch!
