Pre-Delivery Inspections (PDI)
Buying a new or used RV is big investment. Getting an independent inspection can give you peace of mind. Even new RVs can have issues straight from the factory. Warranty may cover the repairs after you take delivery but isn’t’ it better to have any problems addressed before you sign on the dotted line?
When buying a used RV it’s even more important to have the unit inspected. Many problems can be hidden and even the seller may not be aware. Be sure what you are buying is all it should be and you know what to expect after purchase.
