Does one hire an RV surveyor?
Its no different than a boat.* If you're not competent to do most or all of the assessment of the mechanical condition then you are doomed to disappointment.* The big difference with an RV is that you can (usually) roll to the side of the road and wait for help to arrive*in the event of a failure.* Similar to the boat situation, there are some phenomenal deals on RVs right now if you know what you are looking at.* I'm fond of and partial to bus conversions - lately I've seen some of them trade for nominal amounts.* I consider our bus to be in exceptional condition - it passes an annual DOT inspection with flying colours - but its also virtually worthless if we chose to sell it.* I could also show you some units that, if someone were to pay you to take them, they still would be too expensive to own.
