Traveling is a lot of fun, but sometimes hunting a good spot to spend the night or looking for a hotel can be tedious. It would be so easy if you could carry your home along with you. That is exactly what a travel trailer is meant for. It allows you to stay wherever you like, live in those beautiful places for sometime and have everything you need while you stay there. You can go off the road whenever you want to and not have to wait till you see a hotel.
When the time came for our next trip, both of us were really excited and we thought that we could rent a trailer; but it was way too expensive for us. The idea of buying a new one was also ruled out as even that option did not suit our budget. That is when the same friend told us that that the best thing we could think of next was to buy a second hand trailer and if we did our home work right that would be the best probable bet.
The new ones are way too expensive. My friend said that buying a used travel trailer taking a few precautions would be the clever thing to do.
Once you find someone who is willing to sell it ask about the number of years that it was used and the time when it was bought and how many times it had been used. Ask about the repairs that had been made on the trailer. Ask about the weight of the trailer before you go to get it.
First, you should make sure that the breaks and the tires are in a good condition. Trailers are used to travel for holidays and this means highways and long distances. So be sure that the tires and brakes are in a good condition. Make sure you always have a spare tire. Then check the floor, if it is in a good condition or if it looks like it needs to be repaired. Make sure the bathroom is in a good condition and that there are no water leakages anywhere in the trailer. Check for gas leaks also and make sure there are none.
We had to make sure that the on of the battery was in working condition that and there were no leak. The tyres including the spare tyre had to be checked and we had to make sure they were safe to use on highways. The brakes and brake lights should also be in good order. We also had to ensure that both the indicators were working properly and all the doors and windows opened and closed right.
Now that was a big check list but once we checked all this, he said we could buy the trailer. This would save us big money!!
