What are the best tips for buying a used camper van?

Always get a professional mechanical inspection before purchase. Check for water damage and rust thoroughly, especially around windows and roof seams. Test all systems (electrical, plumbing, appliances) during inspection. Review maintenance records and verify mileage. For conversions, request build documentation and component warranties. Consider hiring an RV inspector for professional assessment.
