# RV Pre-Purchase and Insurance Inspection in Chino > OCRV Center performs pre-purchase and insurance inspections on RVs and campers in Chino, with a written report covering structure, roof, systems, and hidden damage so you buy or claim with eyes open. Buying a used coach without an inspection is a gamble, because the costly problems hide behind panels and under the floor where a walk-through never reaches. We go over the body, structure, roof, seals, and slides, look for signs of prior collision or water repair, and hand you a written report. Chino buyers bring coaches to our Yorba Linda shop before they sign. ## What the inspection covers The inspection walks the whole rig, not just the parts a seller points out. We check the body and structure for signs of prior collision work, press the roof and sidewalls for soft spots and delamination, test the slides and seals, and run the major systems. Everything we find goes on paper with enough detail to sort a small issue from a deal breaker. - Body and structure checked for prior collision repair - Roof, seams, and seals inspected for water intrusion - Sidewalls and floor pressed for soft spots - Slide rooms, awnings, and mechanisms operated - Electrical, plumbing, and appliances tested ## The written report and how to use it The report is the point of the whole exercise. It lays out what we found, how serious each item is, and what a fix would involve. Buyers use it to negotiate or walk away, and owners use the same inspection to document condition for an insurance claim. - A written report you can act on - Severity rating on each finding - Notes on likely repair scope - Leverage to negotiate or walk away - Documentation for an insurance claim ## Frequently asked questions ### What does a pre-purchase RV inspection include? We inspect the body, structure, roof, seals, slides, and the major systems, then document everything in a written report. It tells you whether the rig hides water or collision damage and gives you leverage to negotiate or walk away. Chino buyers bring coaches to our Yorba Linda shop before they commit. ### Can you tell if an RV has had prior collision repair? Often yes. We look for the signs a repaint and body filler leave behind, such as mismatched panel gaps, overspray, texture differences, and hidden weld or frame work. Prior repair is not automatically a problem, but you deserve to know it happened before you buy. ### Do you inspect for hidden water damage? Yes, and it is one of the most important parts of the inspection. We press the roof, sidewalls, and floor for soft spots, check every seal and seam, and look for stains and delamination that point to a slow leak. Water damage is expensive to chase, so catching it before you buy matters. --- Source: https://oc-rv.com/services/pre-purchase-inspection/ OCRV Center, 23281 La Palma Ave, Yorba Linda, CA 92887.
