Tips for the Serious Buyer

There are a few tips you will want to know when you begin to seriously get down to the business of buying a camper. The following are a few of the important aspects that can keep you from getting the raw end of a deal.

1) If you know nothing about the working parts of a camper, you should take someone with you who does. For instance, the batteries that supply all the electrical to the camper, when there is not an external one available, should be in running order. They must be capable of holding a charge, and the battery terminals should not be corroded.

2) Does the propane system on the camper work properly? The hoses, the regulator and the tanks need to be in good condition. See if there has been a safety certification on these parts lately. Make sure the tanks are still with the camper.

3) Has the camper been serviced any time in the recent past? These papers are always good to see to make sure the camper is in good working order. The VIN number on the paperwork should match what is on the camper.

4) Check the camper for rust. This means getting under it and looking at body panels and the undercarriage of the camper. Large rust spots, or parts that are rusted through, are not indicative of a good buy. If there is rust on the frame, you should definitely stay away from this camper.

5) Are the floors sturdy and dry? The indication of a leak is often shown by carpet that is damp. Check this thoroughly, because if there has been a leak that was unattended, the damage may go further than damp carpet. The wood and metal under the camper could be in really bad shape.

When looking at used campers for sale - make sure they are in the best shape they can be for the price and the year model, before you buy.
