Essex Credit wants an inspection on Bambi I want to buy

[Halford1]

Hello y'all,

I am in process of buying a 2017 Bambi and applied for a RV Loan via Essex Credit. One of the request from Essex is inspection. How do I get the Bambi inspected? Is the seller responsible for the inspection or is it mine? I called Barber RV in Ventura, they told me they do not do inspection. So where and who does it? I am in Ventura, CA...

Essex should be able to tell you how to get that done, since I'm sure they have standards for whose inspections they will honor. Search on here, and on Google in general, for Airstream Appraisals. You want someone who is Airstream-knowledgeable since they hold their value better than most other RVs.

With boats (called a survey), the gentleman's agreement is if something significant is found that would cause you not to buy the unit, the seller pays for the inspection. Otherwise, the buyer pays. Failure for the value to meet the sellers price might be a negotiating point, but the buyer would still pay.

When I sold my motor home Essex was used by the buyers for their loan. They sent an appraiser who took photos, checked the VIN. Took about 30 minutes and the appraisal was done. More of a proof that the coach was in good shape and actually ‘real’ and not a scam.

yahooooo, EssexCredit approved our loan and waived inspection since that they are satisfied with our evidence and proof of real Airstream and it is advertised in RVTrader. Should be picking it up sometimes next week after I get the check from Essex Credit! Can't wait.

I had been camping in 3 different Coleman popups since 1994 and its time for glamping. when my wife and I bring home the AS, we will scrub it zestfully clean and organize all the stuff that we WILL USE for camping. There are so much stuff that we NEVER use with popup. will get rid of those deadweights. and keep the useful stuff.

anyone use iron cast pot n pans? I used them sparingly at campgrounds.

Good luck! We have one cast iron pan that we use. Love it. Heavy but it’s our universal pan.

There is a great cast iron thread in the Stella’s Kitchen forum.

Happy Trails with the new Airstream!

I paid the seller and signed the papers. It was too late for me to store it at storage so I towed it home with me! It was fun to get the hang of it. I now got used to not being able to see over the roof like I could with my previous popup. Dropped the Bambi off at the storage the next morning. My wife and I will scrub the interior clean and put the stuff inside that we will USE rather than carrying dead weight.
