DON’T DRIVE 150 MILES TO GO LOOK AT AN RV YOU HAVE NO WAY OF INSPECTING
Find The Water Damage Before You Own It
A coach can look perfect and already be rotten inside the wall — the rot starts under the sealant, where you can't see it. This is the 87-check, one-hour walkaround that shows you what the seller can't.
Read it tonight. Use it Saturday. 30-day refund if it doesn't change how you inspect.
Main product
RV CHECK 87 — The Complete Water Damage Inspection System
87 checks. 6 zones. One hour on the lot. Written for buyers, not technicians.
A structural water-damage repair costs $5,000 to $20,000.
- ✔All 87 checks, sequenced across the 6 zones — Roof, windows, wall/floor joints, cabover and bath, storage bays, interior systems — in the order that finds the entry point first.
- ✔The 10 phone questions that save you 150 miles of wasted travel — Ask these before you leave home and you'll know if the seller is hiding something, if the photos are old, or if the 'minor leak' was actually a floor replacement.
- ✔The exact moisture thresholds, zone by zone — 18% on walls, 15% on the floor, 20% in the bath, and the number that ends the visit on the spot. Plus the laminate trap that makes a low reading meaningless on post-2010 rigs.
- ✔The scoring system that turns findings into a number — Add the zones, subtract the age allowance, get one of four verdicts: Buy, Negotiate, Negotiate Hard, Walk — each with the dollar range to ask for.
- ✔Word-for-word negotiation scripts — What to say for a $500–$2,000 finding, what to say for a $2,000–$6,000 finding, and how to show a high reading without making the seller shut down.
- ✔The 3 seller reactions and the exact reply to each — "You're calling me a liar." "Then I'll sell it to someone else." "I have a meter too, it reads 14%." All three answered.
- ✔The under-$100 tool list — and what NOT to buy — Including the two tools most buyers waste money on that tell you nothing about what's inside the wall.
- ✔The 3 absolute triggers — Any one of them and you leave without negotiating, regardless of how good the rest of it looks.

Before you drive
Screen out the rotten rigs before you burn a Saturday.
- Chapter 1–3, one evening at your kitchen table: why water is the only defect that can total an RV, which 4 tools to buy (under $100 total), and exactly what you're looking for in every zone.
- Then the 10 phone questions and a cheap VIN report kill the bad listings from your couch — title brands, unresolved liens, three years 'stored under cover', undisclosed reseals.
- Every dead rig you cross off is 150 miles you don't drive. The one rig that survives the screening is the one worth inspecting.
On the lot
87 checks. 6 zones. One verdict — calculated for you.
- Tick Y next to what you find: every check carries its own points, its own moisture threshold, its own red flag. The Scorecard does the math — you never interpret a number again. It works as a simple Google Sheet — no app to install, no learning curve.
- Soft floor, a confirmed ≥25% reading on structural wood, or a title brand — any single one is an automatic WALK, whatever the score says. No exceptions, no rationalizing.
- The verdict comes back with the exact discount to ask for — from $500–$2,000 up to $2,000–$6,000 — and the 30% rule tells you when the repairs make the whole deal unbuyable.
- Including the checks nobody does: the bay under the bathroom and the slide-out floor seal.
After you buy
The first 30 days decide whether your RV becomes an asset or a money pit.
- A 4-week plan: roof and seals in week 1, plumbing in week 2, electrical and batteries in week 3, shakedown trip in week 4.
- Prevention costs $150–$350. Neglect costs $2,000–$10,000+ in water-damage repairs. The guide shows you exactly what to do, when, and with what materials.
- You also get the ongoing maintenance schedule: roof checks every 6 months, tank sanitizing, GFCI tests, tire dates — so the rig stays sellable and road-ready.
Three real ways RV CHECK 87 turns one inspection into money saved
The measurable result
A number that pays for itself
You slide the pinless moisture meter along the bathroom wall and the number jumps — 18%, 21%, then 25%. That single reading turns a vague worry into hard evidence: a reseal the seller never mentioned, likely behind the wall, probably $1,400 to fix right. RV CHECK 87 gives you the threshold, the photo angle, and the exact words to ask for $3,000 off — or walk away before you sign.
The walk-away
Keep your $38,000 in your account
Twenty minutes into the walkaround, the entry step flexes under your foot. The checklist tells you exactly what that softness means — delamination, water intrusion, a floor that may cost more than the coach is worth. You close the folder, thank the seller, and drive home with your $38,000 still in the bank.
The confrontation
The exact reply for every excuse
Sellers will deny, deflect, or act offended. RV CHECK 87 gives you the exact sentence for each reaction — denial, minimization, or pressure — so you stay calm, sound informed, and keep the upper hand until you get the price or the keys back.
Real buyer results

Saved me from a $6,000 mistake
"Found soft floor behind the bathroom wall on a rig that looked mint. Walked away with my down payment still in the bank."

ROBERT T. - FLORIDA
RV CHECK 87 spotted the leak the seller hid
"The owner swore the roof was dry. RV CHECK 87 sent me straight to the rear cap seam, where the pinless meter read 28%. Saved the trip and my deposit."
DEREK L. - ARIZONA
Worth every dollar before the first handshake
"I printed RV CHECK 87 the night before. Walked the lot like I knew what I was doing, asked two questions the dealer couldn't answer, and left with a $4,100 discount."
KAREN B. - TEXAS
No more guessing on a Saturday
"Used to come home and wonder if I'd missed something. Now I have a number, a verdict, and the words to say. First time I felt in control buying used."
MIKE S. - FLORIDA
One signature away from owning someone else's water damage.
The seller smiles. The photos look clean. The floor feels solid under your shoes. But the real damage lives inside the walls — where you can't see it, can't feel it, and can't negotiate it away after you sign. RV CHECK 87 finds it before you hand over a dollar.

Still unsure?
If you're buying a used RV from anyone other than yourself, yes. Class A, B, C, travel trailer, fifth wheel — the six zones are the same. Written for a buyer standing on a lot with a $30 meter, not for a technician. Buying new from a dealer with full warranty? You don't need it.
No. You need a pinless meter, a pin meter, a flashlight and a mirror. The guide tells you which two tools are a waste of money, how to hold the meter, what throws the reading off, and what each number means. Every check is a yes/no with points attached.
Two core files plus two bonuses. The guide: 87 checks across 6 zones with thresholds, the tool list, the 10 phone questions, the VIN screen, meter technique, the paperwork checklist, the four verdicts and the negotiation scripts. The Scorecard: the same 87 checks in a workbook that calculates your verdict. Plus the Lot Worksheet and The First 30 Days. Instant download, yours to keep.
No. One payment, one download, no account, no renewal, no upsell sequence. If it doesn't change how you inspect, email inside 30 days and we refund you.
You score in your truck, not on the lot: inspect with the printed checklist and a pen, then type the findings in when you sit down. The Scorecard opens in Excel, Google Sheets and Apple Numbers. Prefer no spreadsheet at all? The guide contains the full scoring method on paper.
One hour with a meter, or five years of paying for someone else's leak.
You're going to look at it anyway. The only question is whether you look at it with 87 checks and a number, or with your eyes and the seller's word. Launch price ends when the timer hits zero.

Water doesn't forgive. Neither does your bank account.
RV CHECK 87 is a decision-support tool for buyers. It is not a certified inspection and does not replace one. It tells you when to call an inspector.
