  •  Look for any signs of rust. The most common areas for corrosion to occur are in the chassis and the underneath of the caravan. You should also check for any new paint in these areas, as they could be hiding rust underneath.
  • Look for any problems with the appliances. Ensure that you can check each appliance for yourself and never rely on the word of the seller.
