Our Pre-Delivery Inspection Means Quality Vehicles For You
What’s in a quality pre-owned recreational vehicle?
Have you ever considered that not all recreational vehicle dealerships sell RVs the same? In fact, most dealerships don’t see the value of the Pre-delivery Inspection.
When making the investment in a motorcoach, you assuredly want a vehicle that isn’t just functional, but also maintains aesthetics so our team looks for scratches and gouges in the dash vinyl.
There are dealerships that turn the vehicle around without a pre-delivery inspection delivering units to you with unknown potential problems, both stemming from new and pre-owned units.
So, Why is a Transwest Used RV different?
At Transwest, we feel the time we have with the vehicle before you buy it is one of the most important times at the dealership. The time that we take to meticulously inspect and evaluate the coach is the time that offers us the chance to understand and repair anything that may have been missed or hidden.
We start our Pre Delivery Inspection with the exterior chassis, checking tires and lug nuts, all your latches and compartments. We check your engine’s fluids and oil, your batteries, and lines. Our team will test each unit to be sure that the paint and diamond shield are well maintained and that each of the lockable compartments responds to their corresponding key fob.
There’s nothing worse than taking a new (or preowned) motorhome out on your first adventure only to find out that the roof hasn’t been properly sealed or that your slide outs don’t actually slide, so we check that for you and make repairs as needed.
Let’s say you’re at the campground and you’re ready to relax. It’s a little bright, so you reach for the awning switch, but it doesn’t respond. That’s a horrible feeling, so we check that the remote and the wind sensor too.
You probably want the flexibility of entering and exiting the coach via code, the keys or the key FOB. We have you covered there too. There are 34 points to our Chassis/Exterior Checklist.
