It 'a lifestyle that comes with owning an RV. It does not matter if it is a bumper pull, gooseneck or fifth Bikers, start your own, things are different. You are no longer found in a motel a few miles from where you want to be a car or someone was in a free RV. Freedom to go where you want to see, what you do and always have a place that is there with you.
There are some drawbacks you should be aware of when purchasing a used trailer. NotWorry, all sorts of problems are easily overcome as long as the camper is structurally sound. These are not all the things you should check before buying, especially if you buy from a private. Buying from a dealer is different is when most of the possible problems that can be checked by a technician. The purchase by an individual means a mechanical inspection before we know the things themselves or in trust, the owner tells you. We recommendHowever, try to be more complete to verify the campers as the situation allows, because you can be on the road.
This is the first biggie. If the person who buys from the roof said you lose a little ', think like a sieve. There are no losses "small" on a nearly flat roof. The best thing is to buy a sealing seams (where the roof panels on the sides and overlap) and go over each. You should also seal around the base of the tube and cover. Once finishedthat there is still a good idea to coat everything with a flexible sealant or as reflecting koolseal alumikote. This will not only keep out some of the heat, but also help to seal the roof.
The next thing to worry about wiring. If possible, make sure that is all. This includes a refrigerator, water heater (if electric), all lights and electrical outlets. If there are some that do not work, but most do not worry. There may be a light bulb or maybe a couple of critter chewed through theWire. It 's easy to solve, if you look at the basics of household and automotive electrical knowledge and have the tools. Most of the campers at 110 A / C running and 12V systems when things are not connected to the mains normal.
Do not forget to check the brakes, turn signals and running lights. Make sure the correct adapter for your mobile home have. There are three basic types, 4-pin, 6 pin and 7-pin. There are converters 4-pin to 7 pin change, but usually not those with the power toTrailer brakes. The best way is the right connection for a professional, so that not only installed the brake lights work but the brakes.
The last big problem is the system of propane. Do not forget to ask if the campers are sold with the bottle. Otherwise, you must purchase your own. There are many places for them and get the full bottle, so do not worry too much. What you need to do to inspect and repair, if necessary. Thismust be done before one of his. Propane is likely to run the heating and stove / oven. E 'can also be used for your fridge and kettle, if you do not have electricity running. What I do not want is a loss somewhere in the system. Not only do you run out of propane, long before anyone expected it, but it could cause an explosion. A pressure test is cheap and fast. Bring it to a qualified technician and system checks.
There are a few things to remember thatwill help your trip a little 'easier on the road. Water quality varies from place to place. Buy a water filter for your drinking water and cooking. Producing bottled water is safer and more filter cartridge on hand. All kinds of things can go wrong while you're away. Make sure the power of mobile homes, in the case of property insurance increased if you do not have a motor club. Do not forget to take a kit home. Hammer, screwdriver, tape, etc. You may never needthem, but once it does not come with you.
Go buy a camper first. Use as is or personalize it and make it their own. Go places. Take your friends and family. Grab your camera because you will remember for years. Just do not forget to bring the marshmallows.
