How an RV Inspection Gives You Negotiating Power

When you're shopping for an RV—whether it's new or used—an inspection isn't just about peace of mind. It's a powerful tool that can give you leverage at the negotiation table.

Buying Used? Knowledge Is Bargaining Power.
An RV might look great on the surface, but hidden issues like roof damage, water intrusion, or failing appliances can turn your dream into a money pit. A professional inspection gives you a clear picture of the RV's condition. If problems are found, you have two options: negotiate a lower price to offset future repairs, or request the seller fix the issues before the deal is done. We recently saved a customer nearly $3,000 after uncovering several issues the seller wasn’t even aware of—proof that an inspection pays for itself.
Even Brand-New RVs Can Have Problems.
It may surprise you, but factory-fresh RVs often come with issues—loose fittings, faulty wiring, or unsealed roofs, just to name a few. Dealers will often tell you that you don’t need an inspection on a new RV—but time and time again, we find problems that could save you valuable time and hassle. Without an inspection, you’re likely to discover these issues the hard way—on the road—then have to bring the RV back for warranty work, sometimes multiple times. A third-party premier level inspection lets you catch these problems before you drive off the lot. That means the dealer fixes them on their dime and their time—not yours.
In short, an RV inspection isn’t just about what’s wrong—it’s about knowing what’s right for you. You deserve to start your journey with confidence, not costly surprises.
