01

Hidden water damage

Soft floors and roof rot hide behind fresh caulk and a good wash. The listing won't say a word and neither will the seller — we show you where to look before you hand over a deposit.

02

Dangerous towing math

Your truck's brochure number and what it can really pull loaded are two different numbers — and the gap is what sways down a mountain grade. We run it against your exact vehicle.

03

The cost after the price

The sticker is the cheap part. Tires, slide-outs, batteries, insurance, the first leak — we total the true cost of ownership in an honest range, so the surprise isn't on your card.

04

Listings that lie

"Barely used," "no issues," "motivated seller." We read the listing for what it actually says — and translate the tells into the questions that make sellers squirm.

What RVverdict checks

The expert checklist a seasoned buyer runs — every time.

Six dimensions decide whether an RV is a deal or a disaster. We grade all six in seconds, on the buyer's side.

Price & value

Where the asking price sits against comparable listings — fair, high, or a flag.

Water damage & roof

The signs to check and the questions that expose hidden leaks before you sign.

Towing safety

For towables, loaded weight against real tow-vehicle limits — not the sticker.

Tires, slides & systems

The expensive subsystems: tire age, slide seals, generator hours, propane, electrical.

True ownership cost

Insurance, storage, maintenance, fuel, registration, depreciation — the real number.

Questions & negotiation

Exactly what to ask, which answers should worry you, and where you have room.

The dream is real. So are the money pits.

The open road is the easy part.

Sunsets, national parks, the freedom of your own four walls on wheels — that's why you're buying. The hard part is making sure the rig under you isn't hiding $8,000 of water damage. That's our job.

Red flags & risks

  • High Stored outside, no roof-reseal records — inspect every seam and the front cap.
  • Med Tire age unknown — check DOT date codes; RV tires age out before they wear out.
  • Med Two slide-outs — verify seals, operation, and the floor for water intrusion.
  • Low One owner, no service records mentioned — ask for documentation.

Inspection checklist — top priorities

  • Moisture-meter the floor, walls, and corners
  • Read DOT date codes on all tires + spare
  • Run slides fully in and out, check seals
  • Test all 12V + 120V systems and the converter

Walk away if

You find soft floors, delamination, or active leaks at the slides. Otherwise, negotiate $1,000–$2,000 for aged tires and seal work.
