I would not purchase any rv without an inspection new or old..
A couple of years ago I did exactly what was suggested to you. A fella on rv.net, down in Texas asked if there was anyone in the Sacramento area that could go look at a 10 year old Lance. I contacted him and told him I would do it.
I went and looked, took a lot of pictures...
The inspection did not go well. Jacks were pulling away in the front. Many places in the back of cabinets showed water stains. Ripples in the siding indicating some stress had occurred somewhere. Front window leaking, 2 side windows leaking.... The list went on...
I sent him the pictures and a write up... Needless to say, he did not purchase the camper.
