Check out this brand new RV with open holes on the sidewall and an unsealed window. Hello everyone. It’s Jason again with my RV resource dot. It’s like the yellow pages for RV service providers. I’m also here with my RV inspection, doing an RV inspection. And today I’m gonna give you your weekly one reason to get an RV inspection. So today I’m inspecting a brand new 2023 RV. Um, and yesterday I inspected an, an identical, uh, 2023 RV. Uh, it’s a couple of friends that bought exactly the same RV. They both came in at the same time and they both wanted inspections. So they both contacted me. Um, real quick, we’re gonna flip this show you the VIN number, data plate show. When this thing was built right there, you can see. Came offline in April, 2022. These two RVs have the exact same issue. They’ve got a couple of the same issues and they’ve got a good bit of issues, but, um, I wanna show you this one because it’s just ridiculous. So let me go up this ladder. And see what I got to show you. So if we look right there, that is a hole in the side wall where the wiring for the awning is coming through. See if we can get a good look at it. There you go. No sealant. What’s that mean water can go right inside the wall of your RV. Then I’m gonna show you another thing. That’s real close to this. Hopefully we can see it and hold this and use my finger. So this is the back frame of the window. And you notice it’s separated from the wall by a good, eh, quarter of an inch. So water can get right in behind that, uh, that window sealant on issues. Folks, RVs aren’t made to last forever, but you at least get a good start. So today’s weekly. One reason to get an RV inspection is a brand new 2023 RV. Two of ’em actually, I did the exact same one yesterday. I’ll put the picture right here just to show you. And, uh, they both have holes in the side wall where wires come out, no ceiling, this particular. Also has window frames that aren’t sealed to the side of the wall with sealant water gets in those side walls it’s over. So that’s your weekly one reason don’t forget about my RV resource.com. It’s like the yellow pages for RV service providers. You need a certified inspector. You need a mobile technician, you need a repair shop storage. Uh, there’s all kinds of stuff on there, folks. So make sure you check it out and. Make sure you get your RV inspected. If you don’t know what you’re looking for, we do have a nice day.
