Yes. It's the number-one hidden problem on used RVs. We look hard for it.

Travel trailers too?

Yes, towables and motorized both.

Our own photos

From our RV work

Our own photos from motorhome jobs. The engine and chassis half of an RV check looks like this.

Alternator and serpentine belt lit by a flashlight under a motorhome engine cover — The Rialta's alternator sits under the engine cover. It gets a flashlight, not a glance

Coolant and heater pipes with a snapped plastic fitting on an older motorhome engine — A coolant fitting snapped off on the Dolphin. Old plastic fittings break at this age

These are our own photos from past motorhome inspections in the Inland Empire, California: a 2001 Rialta in Riverside and a 1990 Dolphin in San Jacinto.
