Steve I have a list of things to look for at :
I am sure others have some additional things that can be added
Steve, Attached is a PDI in PDF Format that is pretty complete. Maybe you can make it available as a file available to everyone that does not already have it.
The lists are great, BUT it can often lead someone not familiar with machinery into a false sense of security.
As one who does mechanical inspections on motorhomes, there is a lot that is "see, touch, listen". It takes me around two hours under a coach (Yes, I mean UNDER a coach) for just that part of the inspection. Where do you look for cracked hydraulic pump brackets? leaking hydraulic pump and fan seals, do you know to put a torque wrench on the bulkhead bolts on unihome/unicoaches? Do you know about checking coolant for pH as well as freeze point (and SCA if standard coolant)?
I don't think there is a single motorhome owner who would not know better what to check if buying another of the same model.

Brett,
You make some good points. But many new buyers could have a difficult time finding someone with your experience and knowledge. I think the list would be an invaluable tool.
No problem, Anything to help the next buyer.
