Most people would not consider buying a home without a home inspection. It just makes sense to have an experienced person who is not emotionally connected to the purchase look it over and report their findings. Purchasing an RV is no different, it has most of the same systems a home does, refrigerator, heating system air conditioning, and kitchen appliances. But there are additional things to be concerned about. Although an RV will often be plugged into a 110V power outlet, there is also a battery to run 12 volt appliances and lights. There is a power panel that is more complex than the one at home, it distributes power throughout the camper, and also charges the 12 volt battery, and can power the 12 volt equipment. There is often a slide out room to provide more interior space once you get to a camp site, these mechanisms should be checked for proper operation and adjustment. Then there is the fact that this home is mobile, so there are tires, brakes, suspension, lights required for driving and other features that a stationary home does not include. An inspection includes looking for places where critters can get in and wreak havoc during the off season, and a thorough check for places where water might get in during storms.
