Purchasing a Winterized RV

Hello All!

I decided to finally sign-up. BTW, thank you for all of the wonderful information in the forums, it is irreplaceable!

OK, so my question is how do you properly inspect an RV that is currently winterized? I have found a great travel trailer at the local dealer, but I am not sure what it would be OK to ask them to do so that I know all all of the systems are working properly and there are no leaks.
Have any of you ever done that? Please let me know how to approach this. I am sure the dealer will assure me all systems have been inspected and were working fine, but I would like to verify this myself.

Thank you in advance.

New or used?
Wait a week or two for the thaw, then go and have a look. Ask them to de-winterize it first. If they say no, ask them why, and then deal with it from there.
Mike. Comments are anecdotal or personal opinions, and worth what you paid for them.

I just bought a winterized RV from a dealer. There is anti-freeze in the system and no leaks. Plumbing is not that hard to fix. I never want to buy an RV with water damage or one needing a new refrigerator for instance.
