Mobile Caravan Pre Purchase Inspection Report

Buy Your Next Caravan With Confidence

Purchasing a used caravan is a significant investment. A professional Caravan Pre Purchase Inspection can help you avoid expensive repairs, hidden damage and costly mistakes before you commit to buying.

Our Mobile Caravan Pre Purchase Inspection Service travels throughout South East Queensland, providing comprehensive inspections at the seller's home, caravan dealership, storage facility or caravan park. We inspect the caravan where it is located, making the buying process easy and convenient.

Every inspection is completed by Michael, a fully trade-qualified Caravan Builder with more than 17 years of industry experience and extensive technical qualifications that are unmatched within the caravan industry.

Whether you're purchasing your first caravan or upgrading to your dream off-road van, our detailed inspection gives you the confidence to buy with peace of mind.

​

Why Choose Our Caravan Pre Purchase Inspection?

Not all caravan inspections are created equal.

Unlike many inspection services, your inspection is carried out by someone who has spent over 17 years building, repairing, servicing and certifying caravans—not simply inspecting them.

Michael is one of the few inspectors in South East Queensland who holds qualifications across multiple areas of the caravan industry, allowing him to identify defects that many inspectors simply overlook.

​

Qualifications include:

  • Certificate III – Automotive Body Building

  • Certificate III – Automotive Mechanics

  • Certificate IV – Gas Fitting

  • Licensed Caravan Gas Certifier

  • Transport and Main Roads HVRAS Accredited Inspector

  • Licensed Caravan Safety Certificate Inspector

Because Michael also operates a professional caravan repair workshop, he understands exactly what common faults cost to repair and whether they should affect the purchase price.

This practical experience provides valuable advice that goes well beyond a standard inspection report.

​

More Than Just A Caravan Inspection

Our service is designed to help you purchase the right caravan—not simply hand you a report.

We explain every defect found, discuss the severity of any issues and provide honest advice about whether the caravan represents good value for money.

We'll also help you understand:

  • Estimated repair costs

  • Which defects are minor and which are major

  • Whether repairs should be completed before purchase

  • If the asking price is fair

  • When it may be better to walk away from the sale

Our goal is simple—help you avoid buying a caravan that becomes an expensive mistake.

​

Helping You Negotiate A Better Deal

Many customers recover the cost of the inspection through successful price negotiations.

When faults are discovered, you'll have the information needed to negotiate repairs or a reduced purchase price before committing to the sale.

Sometimes the inspection confirms you've found an excellent caravan.

Other times, it can save you many thousands of dollars by identifying serious issues before money changes hands.
