Tips to Buying Used Travel Trailers For Sale

Tips to Buying Used Travel Trailers For Sale

RV Campers For Sale July 2, 2020

Going camping is a great way to relax and reconnect with nature. However, not everyone is into roughing it in a tent with some sleeping bags. Even if you do not have a lot of money to spend, there are many used travel trailers for sale, and you can find one if you know what to look for.

Mechanical

When you begin your search for travel trailers for sale, you want to take your time. Just because one looks good, does not mean it is mechanically sound. Safety while on the road should be your first priority. Be sure to examine the motorhome before purchasing.

Start by looking underneath the trailer and checking the frame for rust. If there is a significant amount, this means the foundation is not sound. It could give way at any time in the future. In addition to rust, look for cracks, impact damage, or any broken welds. If you see any of these things, move on.

While you are under the structure, look at the axles. You want to make sure there is no obvious damage. You should also ask how old the tires are. Anything older than five years should be replaced immediately. Look at the wheel rims to see if there is any rust or dents. Dents in the rims could cause problems for your tires.

Finally, have the wheel bearings inspected, and repacked if necessary. You want to have the electric brake system inspected by a mechanic as well.

Structural

Once you are satisfied that the travel trailers for sale are mechanically sound, it is time to look at the overall structure. You want to check the floors and make sure there are no soft spots. The ceiling should be free of any leaks and should bear no stains from previous leaking problems. The entry door to your motorhome should move smoothly.

On the outside of the structure, look at the walls. Make sure there is no peeling or separation on the fiberglass. If you have aluminum siding, check for damage or any loose panels. Finally, the windows need to open properly and the mechanism should be in good operating condition.

Appliances and Accessories

All travel trailers for sale should come with the appliances already installed and in working order. Refrigerators are expensive to replace, costing as much as $2,000. Be sure to check that it not only cools, but that also the temperature regulator works. The stove should have working burners and the oven should regulate correctly.

While the appliances are the most costly pieces, you should also pay attention to the rest of the interior. Check the condition of the dinette table and investigate the cabinets to make sure the shelves are in good shape and that the doors close. Also, inspect the upholstery on the couch for stains and tears.

The important part to remember about the interior is that much of it can be updated as you see fit. Curtains can be replaced as can carpeting, and walls are easy to repaint. Just make sure it is in good working order and that it is not too outdated for the time being.
