Buying used out of state?
Are there rv surveyors like there is for boats? Gonna start looking this spring for an Eagle Cap. Not many for sale around here, so expanding the search parameters.

I bought my motorhome out of state. After a few phone calls I was pretty sure I was dealing with an up and up person, she also gave me the name of the local shop where all the work had been done on the motorhome. I called and chatted with him, and while not a full inspection or anything I at least felt convinced that it was well maintained. I suppose it could have been an elaborate scheme between the two of them, but I didn't get that vibe lol.
I didn't do a deposit (seller didn't ask for one), but I did rent a car and drive 8 hours to go check it out. Paid cash, returned the car to a local airport, and drove the motorhome back home.
I do think though that at least the threat of a local mobile mechanic coming out to inspect should be used. See if the seller has any negative reactions to the idea or not.
