A Comprehensive Guide to Buying a Used Motorhome

Every road trip enthusiast knows owning a motorhome can significantly enhance their travel experience. Owning a motorhome helps you plan outings on a whim and explore off-the-beaten-path destinations each weekend. This guide will walk you through important things to consider when buying a used motorhome to ensure you get value for your money!

Know What You Want

Before you start shopping for a used Tiffin® motorhome, take time to identify what exactly you need. Are you planning many solo adventures, or do you have a family to accommodate? Do you prefer compact, easy-to-navigate recreational vehicles or spacious ones with luxurious features? Knowing what suits your needs best is the first step in making an informed purchase.

Thorough Inspection

It's crucial not to rush when buying a used motorhome. Always inspect it thoroughly to avoid unpleasant surprises down the line. Check for signs of water damage, rusting frames, tire wear rates, and battery conditions, among other things.

Test Drive 

Never buy without test-driving your preferred used motorhome first! Not only does this give an idea of how well the RV handles on the road but it can also reveal underlying issues that may have gone unnoticed during inspection. 

Check Service History 

A well-maintained vehicle has a longer lifespan, so always ask for service history documentation. Regular servicing and no major mechanical problems can indicate the RV’s tip-top condition.
