Daddy Rabbit Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Hi. I'm going to look at a Toyota Granville tomorrow. It has 72000 miles on it and it seems to be priced right. Is there anything I should look for that could be trouble in the future? This is my second look at one. The first one got away 15 minutes before I could buy it. I have been looking ever since. Found a couple on craigslist that were scams. Please help if you have any advice. Edited July 11, 2014 by Daddy Rabbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debbit Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 As mentioned, there are lots of things to look out for. You are looking at a vehicle, so you have to be aware of the mechanical condition of the truck. Then the structure of the coach. Check for soft spots and evidence of leaks. Then there are the appliances, water lines and electrical systems. It's tricky!! Common sense is very important, as is an understanding of your skills, abilities and what is important to you. If it looks well cared for, that's good. Manuals and repair records and receipts, also good.I've bought 3, and all had something wrong, usually in the "plumbing" freezing lines are common. Leaking is a close second.Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
