RV Inspection before you buy!

[@ashleyanderson2859]

Looks like it was tweeked, like a bump out hit a tree on the way out, or the awning, maybe? Not sure on the flooring. Definitely money well spent on the inspection.

Agreed, Something happened to put that box under that much stress.

Saved you a lot of work and disappointment getting an inspector to check it♦

[@1968alaskan]

For sure!! I keep telling myself the salesman "had" to know. Re-thinking a lot right now. Do I have to drive down there to look around, Fly?

If this one is a 2022 then it's a covid trailer. Anything built after 2019 during that time is going to be a big roll of the dice quality-wise. I'm definitely gambling with my brand new one, but I couldn't find a used one I was comfortable with that fit what I was looking for and the price on my new one was good enough I went with it. Does this one have a Lippert frame? They've had lots of issues with frames cracking on 5th wheels and travel trailers, if this has one that could explain some of the weird stress and flexing the inspector saw.

Yep fully aware of what they call Frame Flex. Flex is good, but breakage is not! Should be called broken frame, IMO. That also usually occurs on certain models. i.e. Each RV manufacture tells Lippert how they want the frame built. With that, almost all of the models have experienced it. Take a look at the beast from Keystone Montana 3941FO Look at the GVW and then how much weight you can put in it. Something like a 1,000 lbs. Thats dry weight, now add water....8 lbs x 100 if its full. You get the idea. Some is Manufacturing standards, some is probably poor or cheap steel, and some is customers overloading. /shrug
