Who has a pit for inspection?  Foretravel has a pit in the chassis shop.  If you can work into their schedule, they will do a walk through of the coach you are trying to buy.  There is some cost, bit not much.  Scheduling is usually the problem.

You mentioned USAA.  I financed my coach thru them, to value it they used NADA book and added every single item, awnings, microwave, sound system etc.  Right or wrong that is how they did it. Loan value ended being far above what I paid.  My insurance through usaa/progressive is under 700/yr., full coverage, high risk area zero deductible glass.  As far as claims settlement, Progressive has been head and shoulders above USAA, they have been a major pita both times in 25 years I've had a claim.  Progressive....next day, fair adjuster, writes you a check before he leaves.  USAA, slow, tons of documentation requested, but they do eventually settle.
