We made the mistake of purchasing an RV without knowing what we were doing. If you're considering buying a camper, do these things after buying your RV...Doing shakedown trips would have helped us find issues much faster.

These are hands down the best tips after you buy an RV and hopefully it helps you to avoid ending up in a situation like ours.
