In this video, we’ll walk through critical issues you should be able to inspect (before you buy) when looking at your next RV. This may help you have fewer surprises down the road. Are you or someone you know looking to buy a used RV? If so, this buyer’s inspection guide video is for you! We will be utilizing my 2017 R-Pod 179 for doing the inspection.

Thank you John. This was helpful as I'm going to be doing RV inspections for buyers. Now I'll be better equipped to perform these inspections. Could you recommend a good USB power converter and flashlight? I am assembling my tools for car and RV inspections.

@JohnMarucci 2 жыл бұрын

JDM, I’m glad the video was helpful. I do not have any recommendations on a USB power converter, but I do really like the Foxelli brand rechargeable LED headlights. Here is a link if interested: amzn.to/3jNxTmU

John, will the USB outlet on the stereo unit provide power to devices when you're not on shore power (running on battery only)?

@JohnMarucci 4 жыл бұрын

Kurt, I just checked this out and you indeed can charge from the USB port on the Jensen stereo both if plugged into shore power and on battery only. Thanks for the question!

Hi john I am look to buy a used RV just wounding do you have a check list on what to inspect that I could download

@JohnMarucci 2 жыл бұрын

Del, That's one checklist I do not have currently. I need to get one together that ties to the video. For now, you may want to do a Google search for such a checklist. Thanks!

Great information. My wife and I are looking to buy our first RV. We are considering buying something used first, is there any brand we should consider or stay away from? Thank you!

@JohnMarucci 9 ай бұрын

Anything of higher quality is usually very expensive. Oliver and Airstream come to mind. You should consider a certified RV inspector before buying any used RV. There is probably one in your area: nrvia.org

If the walls at the curves have wave like ripples is that bad?

@JohnMarucci 2 ай бұрын

Yes, sounds like either water intrusion (if an inside wall) or delamination of the outside fiberglass wall.

Thank you for the very thorough checklist. We’re looking to buy a used travel trailer soon, and would like to hire someone to help us inspect it. What’s the best way to find such a person? Will a dealership’s service dept typically do inspections?

@JohnMarucci 2 жыл бұрын

You may want to look up a local RV mobile repair person. They are usually skilled on various issues and some may be willing to inspect the used RV for you at a price.
