Mercedes Sprinter RVs – The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly!

This article is going to be talking about Mercedes Sprinter RVs. And about the good, the bad, and the ugly associated with them.

Of course, one of the hottest selling segments of the RV industry is the Class B and Class B plus RV. And many of those are based on the Sprinter chassis.

So I made some videos on these kind of RVs in the past. For instance, there’s a video I made a while back on class B RVs.

And it discusses the pros and the cons of them. And you can view that video here.

Then there’s another video I made on Class B plus RVs. And in that video I tried to help define what a Class B+ RV actually is.

Then I also provided the pros and the cons of that category of RVs as well. And you can view that video here.

Now the purpose of those videos is to help you decide what kind of RV works best for you.

So if you’re thinking about looking into a smaller kind of motorhome, these videos will be helpful for you.

Watch my video on Mercedes Sprinter RVs

They will help you make a decision about whether something like this will even fit for you or not.

Of course, a lot of people really like these smaller and more nimble motorhomes.

And the most popular chassis out there for this part of the RV industry is the Mercedes Sprinter chassis.

Now Mercedes updated their chassis in 2019 to the VS30. And it’s being used currently on a lot of Class B and B plus RVs.

There are some people that love this chassis. And some people really don’t.

So let’s discuss it and talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of the Sprinter chassis.

And first of all, let’s start with the good. The Sprinter chassis pros or advantages.

Mercedes Sprinter Pro #1

And the biggest pro for this chassis is the diesel engine. Yes, the diesel engine is going to give you very good fuel mileage.

In fact, a lot of Sprinter owners say that they average between 15 to 17 miles per gallon between around town and on the highway.

And for an RV, that’s fantastic! It’s a lot of savings on fuel for RV owners.

But the other thing that’s great about this engine is its longevity. In fact, there’s several of these engines that have gone over 500,000 miles.

And it’s not uncommon at all to see them get 300,000 to 400,000 miles on the engine before any major work has to be done. So that’s a big pro!

Mercedes Sprinter RVs Pro #2

Now the second pro is safety. So if you’re really safety conscious, well you’re going to love this chassis.

That’s because Mercedes really loaded it up with safety features. Things like lane keeping assist, and blind spot warning. Also braking assist and on and on.

It’s really a great RV for safety features. And that’s good because honestly in the RV industry that’s something that’s often lacking. So this particular chassis takes care of that.

Sprinter Pro #3

Now the next pro is that it’s so easy to drive and maneuver. In fact, a lot of Sprinter owners talk about how easy it is to drive and get around in it.

They also mention the high quality feel that this chassis gives you. And how it fits well into a lot of parking spaces around town.

So you may not even need to take a second vehicle with you on your RV travels. And that’s a big pro or advantage!

A Pro For Taller People – Pro #4

The next pro is that this chassis, especially in the Class B, provides a lot of headroom.

So for you taller people, you can still manage to walk down the middle of the RV.

Especially without doing that big stoop over thing that some taller folks have to do in class B RVs.

Plus, the chassis can come in lengths of up to 25 feet. So you can get plenty of living space in this chassis too.

Another Advantage To Consider – Pro #5

Now the next pro of the Sprinter chassis is great resale value. And by that I mean that there’s a general perception out there that this chassis is high quality.

That it has a lot of great technology in it. And people are therefore willing to pay more for it on the used market.

Of course, in the mind of the buying public, that’s better than other comparable chassis. So it’s a big advantage of the Sprinter chassis.

OK, now those are the pros I wanted to cover so far. Now let’s talk about the cons as well.

Mercedes Sprinter RVs Con #1

And the main con that you really want to consider is that this chassis is expensive to buy in the first place.

Also, it’s expensive to maintain and to repair too. Now remember that I said it has a great resale value.

Well, the flip side is that you’re going to pay more for it up front too. So in many ways it’s kind of a tradeoff.

But with this particular chassis I highly recommend that you do the maintenance it requires.

That is, if you want it to last and try to avoid very high repair expenses in the meantime.

And this is something that a lot of Mercedes chassis owners talk about too.

They say that you better keep up with the maintenance that the factory suggests. Stay right on schedule with it.

And that way you can avoid a lot of really expensive repairs down the line. Because if you don’t, you’re going to face those repairs sooner or later.

Of course, the maintenance itself is also not going to be cheap on this chassis.

But it’s much better than the high repairs that you’ll face without maintaining it.

And really, any repair can be expensive on this chassis. So it’s good to know that going in.

Also, another thing to know is that sometimes parts are also hard to get for the Sprinter chassis.

In fact, many Sprinter owners complain about having to wait a long time for repairs to be made in some situations.

Mainly because parts can be a challenge to get at times. So that is a con that you need to consider before buying.

Sprinter Con #2

Now the second con or disadvantage I’m going to talk about relates to that.

And that is that you may want to manage your repair costs on this particular kind of RV as much as you can.

So a good way to do that is to get an extended warranty on your Sprinter based RV.

It’s a great way to keep repair costs under control. Or at least manage them.

But keep in mind that that’s going to cost you as well. So that can be a con too.

But if this is something you feel could be a big help here’s my recommendation.

The most trusted name in extended warranties for RV owners is Wholesale Warranties. Just follow this link and talk to them about it.

They will do their best to get you a warranty for your RV that fits your budget.

And that way you can set your mind at ease about higher repair costs on this chassis.

Sprinter Chassis Con #3

OK, the next con is that it can really be difficult at times to even find repair facilities for this chassis.

Especially depending on the area that you’re in. In fact, there are some states where owners say that it’s almost impossible to find a repair facility in the entire state.

And certainly, they’re not very easy easy to come across in those more rural areas.

So that’s something to consider if you like to travel all across the country.

Because you may find yourself in an area that doesn’t have a lot of repair facilities for Mercedes Sprinter RVs.

Now here’s another point that is closely related to that. And that is that if you do find a repair facility that’s local to you, very often you’re going to have to wait a while to get in and get your RV chassis repaired.

That’s because again, there’s so many of these chassis out there. And so few repair facilities to service them.

So very often, owners talk about having weeks of having to wait just for an appointment to get repairs done.

And that can lead to a lot of frustration for the RV owner. But it depends on where you are when the chassis service is needed too.

Mercedes Sprinter RVs Con #4

Now the last con we want to talk about today is that these chassis are very often prone to having low cargo carrying capacity in them.

In fact, it seems that many RV manufacturers just load the Sprinter chassis up with all kinds of extras and technology. With amenities and things like that.

Of course, that’s because that’s what people want. But the is a problem with that.

And that is that they very often load them up so much that there’s very little room left for cargo. And that’s a real issue for many RVers.

Now some of the Sprinter RV manufacturers are better at this than others.

So it depends on the builder of the RV. But one thing we can say for sure.

And that is, you’ve got to be a little frugal about what you’re taking with you if you have one of these Sprinter chassis RVs.

And you also need to closely monitor your weight. More often and more regularly than you do with other RVs. And that can be considered a con.

OK, so those are the pros and the cons that I wanted to share with you in this article.

Which RV Brands Make Better Quality Products?

Now I have created a guidebook that will help you determine what are the better quality RV brands that make class B RVs and Class B plus RVs.

And I feel that it could be very helpful for you. Because it will help you to focus on those manufacturers that are building these smaller RVs with higher quality. Just click on the image below to learn more about it.

And I recommend that you use that guidebook along with my new or used RV buying and inspection guide too.

Together these two guidebooks will help you find a quality RV. One that works like it should from the very first day of your ownership.

Conclusion

Now let me say this in conclusion. In this article there were lots of challenges that we covered related to Mercedes Sprinter RVs.

But the truth is that there are plenty of Sprinter chassis owners out there right now. Both new and used.

And most of them really love the RV they have on this chassis. They love the way it handles and the way it performs. And they love the feel too.

Also, they love the technology that often comes with it. So don’t let the disadvantages of the Sprinter chassis entirely scare you away from it.

What I recommend is to use the pros and the cons that I gave you as a guide.

In fact, it’s good to write them out first. And then go down the list and determine which of those points are a higher priority for you.

In other words, what is more important to you than the others on both the pros and the cons.

And that way you can determine if a Mercedes Sprinter chassis RV really is a good fit for you or not.

Have safe and happy travels my friends!

EPDM vs TPO – Which RV Roof Is Better?

This article is going to be talking about EPDM vs TPO RV rubber roofs. Which one is best your RV roof?

And of course, an RV roof is critical for you to enjoy your RVing adventures.

Because it does so many things to provide a comfortable experience as you travel and camp.

But perhaps the most important job is sealing out water intrusion that can ruin your RV.

Now there’s four main types of RV roofs that are the most common ones you’ll see.

And that is rubber roofs, PVC, fiberglass, and aluminum. But this article is only going to talk about rubber roofs.

And one reason for that is rubber roof material is by far the most common material used in RVs.

Watch my video about EPDM vs TPO on RV roofs

Table of Contents

EPDM vs TPO

So what we’re going to do is compare the two main kinds of rubber roofs. And that’s EPDM versus TPO.

Also, in case you’re wondering, all those letters stand for something. They stand for words that are really long and hard to pronounce.

So we’re just going to use the easier acronyms today, EPDM and TPO.

And we’re going to compare them against one another and discuss the pros and the cons of each kind of material.

Then afterward I’m going to explain a way that you can find out what’s on your RV’s roof. That is, if you have a rubber roof.

And that’ll be very important information for you to have. OK, let’s get started.

The Pros Of An EPDM RV Roof

First up, we’ll start with EPDM and discuss its advantages or pros as an RV roofing material.

And one advantage is that it’s very lightweight. Which is a real pro for any material used in RV construction.

Also, it doesn’t dent, scuff or scratch very easily. And that’s good for longevity.

Also, there’s fewer seams in the material itself when it’s manufactured.

So it’s very likely that you can get a full one piece roof of EPDM when it’s installed.

But the best thing about EPDM is that it can last up to 25 years if it’s maintained correctly. And that’s great for RV owners.

EPDM vs TPO - EPDM pros

The Cons Of Having An EPDM Rubber RV Roof

Now everything is not all positive with EPDM though. There are cons as well. So let’s talk about the EPDM cons.

And number one is that it can puncture fairly easily. Yes, it does resist scratching and and denting and all of that. But it can puncture easily.

Also, over time EPDM darkens with age. So it becomes gray to dark gray sometimes.

And that means that it starts to absorb heat into the RV living area. And that makes your whole air conditioning system work a lot harder

It also can leave black or white streaks going down the side of the RV too.

That’s because EPDM is designed to shed some of its material as it ages. So it often goes off the edge and down the sides of the RV.

EPDM cons

EPDM vs TPO – The Pros OF TPO RV Roofs

In the EPDM vs TPO comparison we are halfway there.

Now let’s talk about the TPO pros and cons too. And the first pro of TPO is that it resists mold and dirt very well. And that’s great for cleaning your roof.

Secondly, it also is not easily punctured like EPDM. In fact, it’s very tough and durable material.

And there’s less streaking that goes down the RV sides as well.

But probably the best thing about TPO is that it very often comes in very white material.

So the material itself reflects heat away from the RV. And that makes you more comfortable in your RV in the summertime.

EPDM vs TPO - TPO pros

The Cons Of TPO Rubber RV Roofs

But what are the cons of TPO? Well first of all, it doesn’t last quite as long as EPDM. About 15 to 20 years on the average.

And there’s less consistency in the quality of the materials that come out of the factory. Especially from different factories and makers.

There’s also more seams in a TPO roll of material than there is EPDM. And that can be something to deal with when it’s installed.

OK, now we’ve covered the pros and the cons of EPDM vs TPO pretty well.

TPO cons

What Kind Of Rubber Roof Is On Your RV?

So let’s get to the question about what’s on your RV roof? And how do you know what kind of material it is?

Well you know, it’s interesting that there’s not a lot of information out there about this.

Especially reliable information about how you can find out what kind of rubber roof you have on your RV.

But I found something from Dicor that I think I can trust. Now Dicor is a leader in roofing and sealant products for RV roofs.

And they’re a very trustworthy company too. So I trust what they have to say on this matter.

And here’s what Dicor says you should do to find out what kind of rubber roof you have now.

Here’s How To Find Out What Your Roof Is Made OF

They say you should go to one of the roof vents in your RV that’s in the ceiling.

Then take down the outer trim ring of the roof vent. And usually there’s just a few screws that hold it up.

RV roof vent
A typical ceiling RV roof vent

Then when you take that trim ring down, you can look inside the cavity where the vent was installed.

And on the side walls very often you’re going to see some extra roofing material.

Excess that was cut and folded in when the vent was originally installed on the roof.

And that allows you to see both sides of the material used for roofing your RV.

Look at the excess roofing material to find what kind it is
Look at the excess roofing material to find what kind it is

So take a look at both sides. And if one side is white or dove gray and the other side is black, Dicor says it’s most likely EPDM.

But on the other hand both sides could be pretty much the same color. Or maybe one side even has a felt backing but it’s all the same color throughout.

Well in that case, it’s most likely TPO. And that’s their guidance on the matter.

Once again, I tend to trust what Dicor has to say on the subject. Because making RV roofing products is their business.

EPDM vs TPO – Maintain Your Rubber Roof

OK, so now let’s move on to the subject of maintaining your rubber roof.

And whether it’s EPDM or TPO we’re going to cover five points about maintaining it.

Roof Maintenance Point #1

Number one is you should wash or condition your roof at least annually.

In other words, once a year is the the least amount of time that you should be up there washing and conditioning it.

But it’s better to do it every six months instead if you can.

Roof Maintenance Point #2

The number two point is when you wash your roof Dicor makes a great wash for RV rubber roofs. Whether it’s EPDM or TPO. So that’s a great product to use on your roof. Click the image below for more information.

Roof Maintenance Point #3

Number three is after you wash it you should condition it by applying an ultraviolet protectant. This helps extend the life of the roof considerably.

And once again, Dicor makes a very good one to use on rubber roofs. Just click the image below to learn more about it.

Dicor rubber roof protectant
Dicor rubber roof protectant

You see, the whole idea is that once you’ve cleaned it, now you put this protectant on it. And that shields the roof against ultraviolet rays.

As a result, the sun’s rays don’t do near as much damage. And that’s really what breaks down a rubber roof quicker than almost anything else.

Roof Maintenance Point #4

Number four is when you’re up there on that roof look for any punctures or tears.

In fact, it’s a good idea to make a run up on your roof every couple months or so.

Or if you can’t do it, get someone you can trust to do it for you.

Then take a look and see if there are any punctures or tears in your rubber roof.

And if there is, I recommend carrying a roll of Eternabond tape with you for that situation.

It will do wonders for any puncture or tear on your RV’s rubber roof. And it’s so simple to use, anybody can do it.

Just click the image below to learn more about it.

Eternabond roof repair tape

You just apply it right on the problem area. And your whole problem is solved for many years.

Roof Maintenance Point #5

OK, the final point about maintaining rubber roofs is that you might even consider coating your rubber roof.

That’s because roof coatings can help extend the life of a rubber roof even further than UV protection.

And if you use the right coating, it might even extend it almost indefinitely!

But the subject of RV roof coatings is a whole other subject to itself. And I’m not going to cover it here in this article.

However, I made a video on that subject that could be helpful to view. You can find it here:

Watch my video on RV roof coatings

At least it’s something for you to consider in your roof maintenance schedule.

Conclusion

Alright, now let’s get back to the original question for this video. And that is EPDM versus TPO, which is better for you to use on your RV?

Well here’s my take on it. They both do a good job. But if your main priority is how long that roof will last, then EPDM certainly comes out ahead.

On the other hand, if you are in a really high heat area, it could be an issue to have a darker roof like EPDM.

And in that case, then maybe TPO could be better for you instead.

But actually, either one works very well. And they are both proven over many years to do the job that they are designed to do.

And that is to protect you and your RV and let you enjoy RV travel and adventures.

Have safe and happy RV travels!

Buying Used Travel Trailers – How To Get The RV Of Your Dreams

In this article I’m going to be talking about buying used travel trailers. And how to buy them the right way!

Yes, travel trailers are the best selling RVs on the market by far. And a big reason for that is they’re also usually the most economical RV to buy.

So in other words, a lot more people can afford new or used travel trailers than say higher end diesel pusher motorhomes.

But the problem is that a lot of RV buyers, including travel trailer buyers, don’t put a lot of thought and preparation into their buying process.

Watch my video on how to buy a used travel trailer

Table of Contents

The Wrong Way To Buy A Used Travel Trailer

For instance, this is what often happens with a lot of folks that buy RVs.

First, they decide that RVing is interesting. And it’s something they want to look into.

So they go down to the local RV dealer to see what they have for sale. And that dealer has a salesperson who shows them the RVs they want to look at.

In this case it’s used travel trailers. And so they take a look at three, four, maybe five or more.

And while they’re going through these RVs, the buyers are mainly looking at the size and the amenities.

You know, what this one has that that one doesn’t have. Then they want to know the price too.

And of course, they are very interested in that all-important monthly payment.

So after walking through several RVs, the salesperson starts applying some pressure. And they go ahead and make their decision.

But let me say this. Much more is needed if you’re going to buy any RV the right way.

And this is especially true with used travel trailers if you don’t want to have regrets later on down the line.

Other Considerations For Getting The Right RV

For instance, how much thought is being put into matching the travel trailer that the buyer is getting with the tow vehicle they’re going to use?

Unfortunately, a lot of travel trailer buyers don’t really understand RV weight limits.

And what they mean for RV towing. Or for the tow vehicle that they have or intend to get.

Understanding RV towing is important
Understanding RV towing is important

And they often don’t know how to set up a travel trailer or RV with a tow vehicle correctly either. So that it’s safe.

Now what this results in is a lot of RVs going down the road that are actually unsafe rigs.

Because there’s extra stress on both the RV and on the tow vehicle. And this often leads to very expensive repairs on the tow vehicle side.

It could be engine problems, drive train issues, or brake issues for the tow vehicle.

Or on the RV side, it could be tire blowouts, suspension issues or problems with axles. And all of those things are very expensive to repair!

Not to mention that it can create very unsafe situations on the road!

RV Weight Limits And How To Match Up The Tow Vehicle

Now I made a couple of videos that can help here. Because what is needed is just a little knowledge about how to work with RV weight limits.

And once you have that knowledge, you really have a whole world open up to you on buying RVs correctly.

Now of the two videos, the first one will focus on RV weight limits and what they mean.

Video #1 explains RV weight limits you need to know
Video #1 explains RV weight limits you need to know

Of course, this is boring to some people. But I really went out of my way in that video to make it as simple, direct and easy as possible.

So you don’t need to know an awful lot to understand what you need to know.

You just need to know a few things and then you’ve got the knowledge you need for RV buying.

Then the second video will show you how to take that knowledge and match up tow vehicles and RVs correctly and safely.

Video #2 - Matching the travel trailer and tow vehicle
Video #2 – Matching the travel trailer and tow vehicle

So a little knowledge will go a long way for RV buyers. And it will help make sure you get a good RV. A good used travel trailer.

Now there is also another area where a lot of money is lost by RV buyers.

And that is in the buying process itself. In fact, there’s tons of mistakes that are made here very commonly by most RV buyers.

And these mistakes can add up to thousands of dollars in many cases!

So I have a five-step buying process that I want to share with you here in this article.

And that way, you’ll know how to buy a travel trailer, or really any RV, correctly. In a way that will protect you and save you money too.

Buying Used Travel Trailers – Step 1

So let’s go through the five steps. And number one is that I highly recommend that you research your RV carefully before you buy it.

Now this article is about buying used travel trailers. So that means that you need to go and look at lots of travel trailers.

Whether they are new or used doesn’t really matter. Just go and look at travel trailers!

And that usually means that you need to visit RV dealers to do that. Not just one, but several of them. Or go to RV shows in your area.

Look at lots of travel trailers on dealer lots when buying used travel trailers
Look at lots of travel trailers on dealer lots

Or another way to see used travel trailers is to visit RVs from private sellers too.

Now the whole idea here is that you’re not going to buy anything at this point. You’re just doing research.

So make that decision in your mind in advance. That no matter what happens, you’re not going to buy anything yet.

You’re just going to go and gather information at this point. So what information are you gathering?

What You Need To Know To Get The RV That Fits You Best

Well, you need to learn about travel trailers if that’s what you want to buy.

To do that go through lots of them. Different sizes and shapes, and so on.

And experience the RVs you see as much as you can. So go in and sit in the dinette. And move around in it to see how easy it is to get in and out.

Then go back and sit on the toilet. Stand in the shower. Lay on the bed.

Stand in the RV shower
Stand in the RV shower

Go in and sit where you would watch the TV and see how comfortable that is for you.

See how comfortable the TV viewing area is
See how comfortable the TV viewing area is

You see, what I’m saying here is to find out about living in a travel trailer by actually experiencing different sizes and different floor plans first.

Now once you do, you’re going to start to narrow down your selections quickly.

You’re going to start to learn what floor plans you like, and what sizes work well for you. And that is valuable information to have before you buy!

Step 2 In The Process For Buying Used Travel Trailers

Now number two on the list is to find out what brands make the best RVs for consideration.

So if it’s used travel trailers, know what brands are known for making the best ones. This is so important!

Because suppose you’ve got the choice of two used travel trailers. And one is made by a brand that has a reputation for quality that’s above average.

But the other RV is made by a brand that has a reputation for quality that’s a little lower than average.

Well, you’re spending the same money for either of them. So which one would you rather buy?

And which one do you think is going to last you the longest? And give you the least problems?

So you see, getting the right brand is important, It’s something you want to focus on and make a priority in the RV buying process.

There will be more information on how to know which RV brands are best later in this article.

Step #3 In How To Buy A Used Travel Trailer

Now the third step is to learn how to pre-inspect RVs as you go through them.

You see, so far what you’ve done is you have narrowed your choices down considerably.

Now you know the size you want and the floor plans you want. And you also know what brands you want to be looking at.

So you’ve really narrowed down a lot of selections to a relatively few number of RVs!

And at this point, you need to be able to go through those RVs looking for certain things.

Especially the things that are the most expensive to repair or replace. And you want to make sure that they are working correctly on each RV.

And that way, you’re not going to be buying something that’s going to need a big repair right after you buy it.

So know how to pre-inspect travel trailers to be sure you get a good one.

Again, I’ll show you more about how to pre-inspect RVs later on in this article.

OK, it’s time for the next step in the buying process. And so far, you have narrowed your choices to a very small selection.

And they are the used travel trailers that you’re really interested in. They have checked all the boxes so far for number one, two and three of the buying process.

Buying Used Travel Trailers – Step 4

Now pick the very best one of that group and arrange an RV inspection for it. And we’re talking now about a professional RV inspection.

So I recommend choosing a certified NRVIA RV inspector to do the job right.

And at this point, you want the inspector to come in and go through the RV from top to bottom.

Buying used travel trailers - Get a certified NRVIA RV inspector to go through the RV
Get a certified NRVIA RV inspector to go through the RV

You want to make sure there aren’t any major hidden problems that’s going to surprise you and cost you a lot of money in repairs.

And once the RV inspector finishes you’ll get a complete and thorough report on that RV. Then you will know exactly what shape it’s in!

This is a vital step in the process of how to buy a used travel trailer!

The Final Step For Success In Buying Used Travel Trailers

And that actually leads us to the fifth step in the buying process. And that is to make use of the report you have on whatever the inspector finds on the RV.

So whatever the inspector found, get it fixed before you take delivery of the RV. Especially if you’re buying from a dealer!

Now if you’re buying from a private individual, it’s negotiation time at that point.

You can either ask them to repair those issues before you take possession of the RV at the price that you’ve agreed on.

Or you can negotiate the price with them if you’re going to have to repair those issues after you buy the RV.

But either way just make sure that all the problems the inspector found will be addressed right away.

Now what I’ve shown you here is a five-step RV buying process that really works. And it will help you know how to buy a used travel trailer.

And if you go through it and follow the steps as I outlined, most likely you’re going to get a great RV.

Here’s How To Make The Five Step Process Easy

In addition, I have created a couple of guidebooks that can help you out in this process.

Now of course, you can do the five steps on your own if you like. And if you know your way around RVs pretty well, you’ll probably do fine.

But what if you feel that you would like some guidance in the buying process?

Well, I’ve created a used travel trailer buying guide to help you know which brands have produced the best travel trailers for overall quality.

And the buying guide covers the years 2010 – 2019. It will help make your RV search so much more focused and productive.

And then I’ve also created a used RV buying guidebook. And it’s packed with even more tips and guidance on how to buy used RVs the right way.

It will be very helpful in learning how to buy a used travel trailer no matter where you buy it.

And it will help you know how to pre-inspect the RVs you look at in the buying process.

That way you’ll know which ones are worth considering and which aren’t.

A Bonus That Comes With The Used RV Buying Guidebook

Also, it even comes with a checklist that will step you right through the whole process.

And that makes sure that you don’t miss anything important in the pre-inspection.

So these guides will show you how to find the best used travel trailers for the money.

Then how to pre-inspect them to make sure that they’re really worth considering.

And then how to get the right RV inspector to come in and make sure it doesn’t have hidden problems.

But there’s even more tips and help than I have covered so far in this article too. It’s all in the guidebook!

That will help make sure you know everything you need to know about any RV.
