When I was into boats, I used to perform boat surveys (inspection before purchase) for awhile.

I'd always get a kick out of people that didn't want to spend the $500 to have the boat surveyed. I would always tell them that if the survey made them change their mind on the purchase, it would be the best $500 they ever spent. If it made them feel better about what they purchased, it'll just make them sleep better but it was really just a waste of $, if there was nothing wrong.

There is a reason that insurance companies insist on a written survey before they fund a loan on a boat. It should be no different with a camper.

If you don't know what you are looking at or how to evaluate a purchase, it is $ well spent to have a professional do it for you. Even they make mistakes and miss things on occasion but it's a heck of a lot better than going in blind.

If the seller doesn't want to be subject to a professional inspection....WALK AWAY!!!! no....... RUN AWAY!!!!!
