From your description of this coach, I am pretty sure I spoke with the owner of this bus several months ago. I have been watching it for about a year. There were too many things he said to me that were squirrelly. I am a potential first time buyer. It is encouraging to know I smelled something off and you confirmed it. You have given me a little more confidence as I search for a coach. Thanks Andrew!

This is an extremely valuable video for buyers who are looking for their perfect RV. For some reason the sales of cars & RVS attract more than a few dishonest people who are more than happy to take you for as much as possible. I’m appalled by his behaviour and so happy that you accompanied the buyer Andrew. It’s something I learned from you early on to always find an independent inspector who can help with your purchase or stop the sale completely. Personally I’d flag the seller on social media for misrepresentation and lying to potential buyers. Thank you so much for highlighting the issues of buying your RV privately or from an unknown dealership. 👏👏👏

I know nothing about RV Inspection, however you said a lot . . . Anytime Integrity is broken, the transaction is a deal-breaker for me. And that goes for any situation. There is a con-artist in every field.

Without integrity there's nothing there. You nailed it right there.

He should buy from Brad. When i'm ready to buy the only place i'm going is to see brad

I collect Rolls Royces. The same thing happens to me very often! I have lost thousands in travel expenses to find owners not totally transparent or simply do know their cars! Whatever one buys is tremendously important to know about it AND see it IN PERSON to validate the condition!

I wonder How Prevost did not find the ashes and evidence of a fire during their inspection.

Great Narration. Keyword: INTEGRITY

Great video Andrew. Eyes Wide Open. First time owners need to understand this. We've owned our Wanderlodge for 4 years now. Were fortunate to purchase from an honest owner. Through WOG and contacts we knew the history of the bus and the owner's history fixing up Wanderlodges. He liked to do stuff like that and is honest as the day is long. We've not really had to repair much in our 4 years of ownership other than maintenance and a few repairs that are consistent with ownership of a 17 year old class A diesel pusher. Thanks again for the videos. I appreciate your channel.

I was thinking about becoming a certified RV inspector...was a truck/motorcoach mechanic in a former life and currently drive entertainer outta Nashville..I'm around these things constantly. In the process of restoring an '89 XL Le Mirage classic so I do all my own stunts.. Peace of mind is a wonderful thing.

Thank you Andrew for making this video and I really appreciate your candor about these types of sales in the used market. I also the videos that that you and Brad do at the Motorcoach store too.

Thank you Andrew for your candor, honesty and guidance. Love your channel. We want to see more of your dog...LOL

Thank you for your help Andrew, great video. Happy trails!

Your attention to the details while reviewing a coach is certainly appreciated. I learn a lot watching your videos. Thanks!

What I got from this is that you know your stuff and even though the buyer paid out a lot of money before a purchase, the buyer made a sound investment in you and your knowledge of the coach but also what questions to ask and extract the information needed to determine your level of comfortability with the seller and a possible sale. Don't beat yourself up over the fact the buyer paid you and a no sale took place. you proved to the buyer the money he paid you was far more valuable than the R.V and the $10,000.00 the buyer paid for everything was a drop in the bucket compared to losing $500,000.00 plus the $250,000.00 in repair cost. The bond you and the buyer established that day will be immeasurable in the future.

Super informative video Andrew, thank you for taking the time to share. I would never be comfortable buying from a private seller. BTW, love your Grech. Take care

Ty Andrew for sticking with integrity value. Everything craters when you lose that. This is why I’ll be calling you in the near future about my first motorcoach purchase. I’m fairly certain it’s going to be a Newell ordered from factory but want to bounce some thoughts off you. I’m facing major back surgery in the next month which will dictate my timeline. I’ll call when things clear up after surgery. Ty again for your honesty and informative videos.

Great video, Andrew, thank you. Classic case of why you want to have every coach put through an in-depth inspection. Imagine finding out there was a fire and that the inverter was not properly updated and other problems after the purchase! Yes, the inspection costs money, but a bad purchase could cost much, much more!

Thank you! This helps so much! When I decide on one, it will be my first one, I want it to be for full-time use.
