before you purchase whatever unit you decide on, be sure and have it inspected by someone who has experience with RV'S. One of the most important inspections needs to be for water damage, especially around the front above cab area. Appliances and systems, air conditioner, heater need to be checked. How about the service/maintenance on the chassis. Money well spent before you purchase.
There hasn't been one trip made where I haven't had something require attention. I keep a note pad and write down what to take care of before the next trip. Appliances are easy to replace and the builders use
the same brands. I have used mobile mechanics when out and about and you can get a quicker response than a brick and mortar repair shop. If you get a Ford V-10 buy a few spare ignition coils and carry them with you.
Best of luck in your adventure, see you in the Sierras!
Yes, but some dealers offer their own inspection. I thought of just going with dealer's inspection results if it's offered - other dealers do not offer inspections and do more of a consignment thing, withotu pre-checking the unit, this concerns me as you pay $$$ for inspections on a wild card and may be out of inspection money and no RV and I need to buy a motorhome and hit the road asap.
Mobile mechanics is a very good idea, I didn't even know they existed!
