PPL is a great company, but do understand they do not own any of the vehicles they are selling. The rigs are on consignment and are sold “as is”.
Quite a few people buy a rig from them sight unseen. They arrive in Texas expecting something like picking up a new RV from a full service dealer, with a multi-hour walkthrough on the rig.
Won’t happen. The rig will largely be as the seller turned it over to PPL. That can range from pristine condition to needing a major cleanup.
I would also strongly suggest making the final purchase contingent upon the rig passing a mechanical inspection by both an RV tech and a engine/ chassis mechanic. PPL can advise you of people in the area who have done such inspections in the past.
Frankly making a trip to Texas, and then deciding the rig isn’t right is a lot cheaper than buying without checking and discovering there are problems later.
