Buying used out of state?

Just for giggles you can always post here to see if someone in the neighborhood of where you found a camper would be willing to take a look. Seen it done here more than once.

Check NRVIA. Their website has a "find an inspector" feature that may help.

Gotcha. Googling RV inspectors it seems there are such services including through the NRVIA although I suspect inspector availability varies with regions and populations.

Boat surveyor is an inspector with no bias. Paid for by the buyer. Makes commiting to something from, say Texas, a bit easier when you live in Seattle.

I pick up my Fleetwood over 2000 miles from home.
One of those winters with negative 20F as well.
But I buy cheap and I buy fixers, so don't expect perfection.
You can always find local technician who for $2-300 will do PPI, but I am skeptic about efficiency.
Just ask for good quality pictures, arrange the deal, go there with cash in hand and negotiate all misrepresentations on spot.
