At what point should an RV Surveyor get involved?
When you find the RV you are interested in purchasing and have negotiate a price you are comfortable with to pay, assuming that what the seller has represented to you is true and correct. Make sure your purchase contract is contingent on completion of a satisfactory inspection. Spell out what you expect and get it in writing. Your RV Surveyor should be an independent inspector. Ask your surveyor to see a copy of the inspection checklist prior to inspection. After the inspection is completed, report reviewed and be sure to request pictures, from there make your decision how to proceed. If what you expected was confirmed to be true, you are ready to go. If the RV inspector finds issues that give you concern, you then have options. You can re-negotiate the purchase price based on the inspection report or you can request the seller to fix the items that concern you or you can walk away from the deal.
