Pre-Delivery Walk Through

Is this a full blown RV Inspection? No.

A RV walk through familiarization is a high level systems familiarization that can be conducted with you at the dealership or post purchase at a location of your choice. Most dealerships only provide a 45 to 60-minute familiarization with new owners. Seldom is this amount of time adequate even for a seasoned RVer.

I will spend up to 2-hours with you showing you the features and operations of your RV and initial starter items that should accompany the RV. Your dealership may not include them, but I will identify those initial starter items you will need for your first adventure and make recommendations for the “nice to haves.”

You may want to upgrade to a full blown RV Inspection that will evaluate over 200 inspection items identified in NRVIA’s Standards of Practice.

The inspection then becomes a repair list you can provide the dealership for warranty repair or negotiating purposes if the walk through is conducted prior to leaving the sales lot.

Don’t take possession of an RV with known needed repairs. Get the discrepancies corrected before you take the RV off the lot! Dealerships are anxious to sell; they will usually get right on your negotiated repairs to make you a satisfied customer, if they know closing the sell is contingent on the repairs. If you leave with a promise of “just bring it back in and we will get that taken care of,” you will more than likely, go to the back of the line in the repair shop. Depending on the season, this could take months. No one wants to make an RV investment that you can’t use immediately or have to use with irritating deficiencies that could have been corrected before taking possession.
