What happens during a pre-purchase inspection?
Our qualified used caravan inspectors follow a process specialised for assessing the condition of a used caravan or motorhome, ensuring the inspection meets the specific needs of Australian buyers:
- Travel to the caravan/camper trailer: An experienced inspector, equipped with specialised tools, will travel directly to the caravan’s location, whether it’s at a dealership or a residential property. This saves the seller the hassle of moving the caravan to a workshop.
- Caravan and motorhome details checks: We verify the caravan’s details, including the build year, make, model, and odometer reading on RVs.
- Comprehensive inspection: Using advanced tools, the inspector examines the caravan’s chassis, interior, exterior, wheels, tyres, and undercarriage. Findings, comments, and photos are collected for a detailed report.
- RV road test: The inspector conducts a road test to evaluate the condition of the motorhome’s components and its overall road performance.
- Digital report generation: An itemised digital report is created, featuring the inspector’s findings, an overall condition score, comments, and supporting media such as photos and videos.
What happens after an inspection?
After the inspection is complete, you’ll receive the following:
- Digital report: Your detailed report will be sent to your email, allowing you to review the caravan’s condition at your convenience and easily share it with others.
- Inspector call: If included in your package, the inspector will personally call you to discuss their findings and answer any questions you may have about the caravan.
