Motorhomes
When shopping for motorhomes it's important you know what you're looking for. A vehicle such as this is a massive purchase, even for a well to do family or individual, and the last thing you want to do is buy something that looks amazing in the showroom then breaks down as soon as you hit the motorway.
You have to remember that most motorhomes spend a lot of time sat on driveways not doing anything, which can have a profound effect on the suspension and steering, as much of the good maintenance of motorhomes relies on the movement of these parts through their lubricating fluids. This means that vehicles that have been sat for some time unused may look brilliant inside but still require some serious servicing before too long.
A salesman will never tell you about the real condition of the vehicle if he doesn't have to. Used vehicles are sold as seen and so it is up to you to do your homework and get your hands dirty checking it out. Luckily due to the internet being the way it is, all the information you might need when inspecting motorhomes will be only a few short clicks away.
There are also vast communities of enthusiasts that are often more than happy to answer any questions you may have via the various motorhome message boards and chat rooms. They will be able to set you on the right path towards what you should be looking for and common issues and problems with the different models you're interested in.
