Why You Need an RV Inspection Before Buying

A used RV hides its expensive problems where you can’t see them — under the roof membrane, inside the walls, behind the water heater. Water intrusion is the #1 RV killer, and it rarely announces itself until the floor is soft or the sidewall is delaminating.

Sellers often don’t know — or don’t disclose — what’s lurking. A claim that “everything works” is no substitute for firing every appliance, metering every seam, reading every tire’s DOT date code, and leak-testing the propane system.

A pre-purchase RV inspection from Precision Auto Inspect is an independent, third-party evaluation — not a warranty or guarantee. We come to wherever the RV is parked — seller’s property, dealership, or storage lot — across Eugene, Springfield, Cottage Grove, and surrounding Oregon, and document our findings with high-resolution photos and plain-language results. Reports typically delivered in under 24 hours.

Common Issues We Catch on RV Inspections

Water intrusion, worn slide-outs, tired appliances, aged-out tires — these are the problems our RV inspections are built to uncover before you buy:

THE #1 RV KILLER

Roof Leaks & Water Intrusion

Typical finding: Cracked lap sealant around vents and skylights, soft spots in the roof substrate, and moisture-meter spikes at front and rear cap seams. Water destroys RVs from the inside out — often with no visible sign.
Checked: Roof membrane, sealant, skylights & vents | Tool: Moisture meter
SLIDE-OUTS & SEALS

Slide-Out Wear & Seal Failure

Typical finding: Worn wiper seals, misaligned slide rooms, and water staining on interior walls where seals no longer compress. Slide-outs are one of the most common — and costly — leak sources on used RVs.
Checked: Slide operation, seals & alignment | Also: Awnings & window seals
LP GAS & APPLIANCES

LP Gas & Appliance Faults

Typical finding: Propane fittings that leak, regulators past their prime, refrigerators that won’t cool on gas or electric, and furnaces or water heaters that won’t fire. Every appliance is fired and tested — not just eyeballed.
Checked: Propane leak test, fridge, furnace, water heater, A/C
TIRES & RUNNING GEAR

Tire Age & Dry Rot

Typical finding: Tires with plenty of tread but DOT codes 6–8+ years old, sidewall cracking, and mismatched trailer tires. On RVs, age — not tread depth — is what blows out on the highway.
Checked: DOT date codes, dry rot, brakes & bearings
BODY & STRUCTURE

Delamination & Sidewall Separation

Typical finding: Delaminated sidewall panels, bubbled fiberglass, and soft spots around windows and compartments — the telltale signs that water has broken the laminate bond and structure is failing.
Checked: Sidewalls, windows, compartments & caps
