What should i be looking for and what kind of questions should i be asking when inspecting a potential used travel trailer camper?"

Look for a clean unit that may indicate they took good care of it. Look at the interior, if it is gross, who would want to sleep on it? Look (and smell) for mold, indicates a leak. Check the tires (and brakes if it is a large unit) same as buying a car.

Camper Van Living

Modern camper vans and RVs have all the features that you would find in your household. if budget is no difficulty, all mod cons such as lcd tvs, dishwashers, fridges and with areas that are professionally developed.

The most common variation of RV is the Type A. This is the roomiest of all motor homes, the biggest, and the most pricey. They come fully equipped with all the luxurious amenities as listed above, plus some. Some recreational vehicles have custom made stained glass and large garden/tub showers. Recreational Vehicles come up to 45 feet in length and generally range between $85,000 used and $400,000 new. Don’t forget, they are not particularly economical and range somewhere between 5 and 8 mpg. This is another consideration. If you can’t take that kind of gas mileage you may want to consider another form of motor home.

Camper vans and travel trailers are included in the type B motor home category. Camper vans are smaller than the type A and are roughly 18 to 25 feet in lenght, these can sleep up to 4 people quite comfortably. A fully contained van camper can have a shower, toilet, kitchen, TV, couches and beds. The furniture is close together, affording less privacy than a travel trailer or recreational vehicle. The majority only having headroom for full standing in the middle of the vehicle. Much more compact than the Type A motor homes they have less storage area. The van campers range in price in between $43,000 and $70,000.

Travel trailers come in sizes 16 feet to 38 feet. They range in price from $6,000. for a second hand trailer upwards to $45,000 for a new travel trailer. You can generally find a fairly wide range of amenities in travel trailers. The bigger the trailer, the more people that can sleep and more likely to have a private sleeping area.
