Used RV, motorhome and campervan inspection
Book an expert to inspect a motorhome, campervan or travel trailer before you buy. Roof and water damage, chassis, propane, plumbing, power, slide-outs and appliances.
Most RV damage starts on the roof and spreads quietly into the walls and floor. An RV also has a whole house inside: gas, water, power and appliances. A verified expert checks both the vehicle and the living space, so you do not buy a rotten wall or a leaking propane line.
What can go wrong
- Roof seams and sealant letting water in
- Soft floors and delaminated walls
- Propane leaks and dead gas alarms
- Old tyres (RV tyres age out at 5 to 7 years)
- Slide-outs, awning and appliances that do not work

How long does it take?
Two to four hours, depending on size and features.
Is a propane test included?
Yes. The checklist includes a propane leak test and checks the gas, CO and smoke alarms.
