Chassis inspection like is shown in this video is typically $500 and can go up if more hours are required. Another inspection testing all of the systems would be approximately another $500. For rates on filming your inspection, email me at ansautodetail@gmail.com
Do you know if Dale Earnhardt jrs old white Newell with orange flames coach is for sale or rent? Let me know if you need a photo of it.
wait...what's going on here? I thought you paid us for filming our rigs? ;)
Another great video. For a Prevost inspection, I would have expected more technical data for the A/C; instead of, it works/its cold. I would expect to return temperature data for return air temperature as well as outlet compressor temperature.
I always wanted to see an inspection...most people get caught up on looks but the guts is what’s important. Thank you
Thanks Andy for this behind- the-scene look at an RV Inspection. Looking forward to see what's next
Glad you posted this, gives a lot of insight as to what all goes on with these buses in terms of things that could go wrong. Especially things your average person would be clueless about it. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you Andrew and Kyle, great video.
Great video and thanks Andrew and Kyle (love that dude. So friendly and straight up. ).
That's a great inspection, hit all the major stuff.
Great video Andrew. Thank you again.
Very informative video, Andrew ! Matience is very important , a house on wheels! Thanks guys !!
A very interesting and informative video Andrew. Thank you!
Very informative video Andrew!! Thanks!!
Thankyou, you have NO idea how much this appreciated. I is so hard to guess what is truthful and a right out lie. Why do I say this , because these bus/ coaches are taken in and we are told that everything is OK good to go ..... well if so you go over with a fine teeth comb, and you don't know how it got this far, so who was is sticking it to us. JUST SAYING..... yup have a d pusher.
Very cool. Will definaty hit you guys up when I find my next coach!
I liked the inspector's friendly smiling face.
Thank you Kyle
VERY informative video. Thank you !
great video, I am mechanical, i love this stuff. I feel blessed, bought a 2007 Itasha Meridian with 24K miles on it. four years ago. 40K now and nothing wrong so far.
I got my used coach from a major area dealer. It needed work and I wanted things done that sort of threw them. So after some talking I did pump 20G in to it, but they came on a did more than I asked, like a remanufactured aquahot for starts
Great video. Those under $100k Prevost super deals that seem too good to be true usually end up with a NOT too good to be true repair bill.
Other right!! Fascinating video and information. Do you have a video of trade offs for used coaches and repairs to keep it in optimal condition? Is it worth saving on purchase and spending on repairs vs. spending more on purchase and hoping little repairs down the road. Also what's the usual life expectancy of the coach, both the body and systems as well as the motor? What is salvaged when it's past life?
Thanks Andrew great inspection. Just started looking for a coach. Like the U320 40ft Foretravel. what would the cost be for taking off the tires to inspect the breaks & surrounding wheels? Appreciate it.
Next to your “How To Detailing” videos, probably one of your best. People need to understand that this was a basic exterior/mechanical inspection only, without fluids analysis. All the interior systems & road test are on completely different checklists. Suggest you post those those checklists, so everyone can see how thorough even a basic inspection needs to be. Soapy water works fine when searching for that BIG air leak. However, I was surprised Kyle is not using a Sonic Leak Detector to find those pesky smaller ones.
Good stuff! 👍
Andrew, could you post a link to the un-filled
checklist sheets, please?
Great video, but you didn't stop to see the goat ;-)
Thanks for making this video. One question though is at 12:30 into the video, how can a question and answer be off the record if it is being shown to the public on UA-cam?
Inspections are key, don’t want to get caught up on the pretty paint and interior only👍🏼
GREAT VIDEO
If you do have an area of paint checking, what is the repair?
So did the person buy the coach and what was the final price? Wondering if sellers knock off quite a bit when they see all the items needing repair?
Good vid buddy.
Can I get a copy of a blank check list, please? I am in Nebraska but I want to make sure my local inspector does a good job.
What is the cost of the buyer inspection?
I’ll take the Prevost and the goat. Thanks.
Hey Andrew, Love the videos please keep em coming! It would be really dope if you made it a standard to let us all know on every coach if the tag axle is 1. Steerable aswell as 2. Liftable. I Know alot of the H3-45 -X2 Entertainer Prevosts have Liftable tag axles but however they are steerable - Thanks
Great point you bring up! I will work on that.
Well you certainly know what you are doing
What about the generator 🤔
Wow!
What can I use to get my rigs shining, this is my first Diesel Coach, thanks

You have just put me off buying a provost land yacht
What should someone expect to pay for an inspection as thorough as this one?
chasis inspection is usually around $500 plus another $500 to test all of the systems.
Tires date codes,engine oil sample,trans sample ,dip the coolant for PHand test drive. Always no matter what deduct engine belts,tensioners,idlers.Complete lube and engine service with filters no matter what seller says. Than during your 2-5 hours run thru with seller have generator running and most of the coach turned on with all AC running. RADIATOR..turbo connections. I personally would also price in complete wheel and bearing removal to get in deep. Plan on 9-20k if you cant do the work yourself for dependability.Rather see a 85-100k mile coach than a 24k. All this being 8 plus year old coach. Really need to spend a day or more for a detailed inspection so at 125 per hour 1200-1800 inspection is peanuts...good starter vid👍👍👍 But it gets much more involved.
totally agree about the mileage variant, there's a point when less is more (trouble), and one can do a vg visual inspection with minimal mechanical aptitude to get a feel for how the bus was maintained. You detail every nook and cranny and often you can avoid paying a grand and more for a test that's likely to be a fail. Of course, if they pass the visual inspection then you can have the real expert do his thing. If I'm spending $100k or more, $1k is insurance well spent for the peace of mind in knowing where one stands. Checking for air pressure leaks is huge with these 3 and 4 sliders. Seals are not able to last forever. They are subject to heat and time, and that's another area to consider when buying a rig - where was this kept, if outside, what are the weather variants for that area? If it's Las Vegas, some things are going to fail sooner in that wretched environment.
Nice video would like to know the cost of all the repairs tho
I will work on a follow up video
The answer is likely more than think. Even repairs on my crappy Winnebago RV are shockingly high.
It's amazing that they trust only those lifts and they have no Jack's underneath it for extra security I don't know how they do it nerves of Steel
those wheel lifts have steel locking tabs/dogs, that drop into place about every 4" of lift. So each lift unit is its own jack stand. You have redundancy, you have the hydraulic lift cylinder, and the steel dogs, that are auto deploying as you lift the wheels. this shop has the older style that are cable connected, you will see a cable drooping in one of the cargo door inspections, that cable connects each of the lift unit, so all will lift or lower together. the more modern ones are wireless. these lifts are very pricey.
What does it cost to have them inspect it? ??
It is billed by the hour.
Andvwhat is the hourly rate and how many hours to inspect the rv you showed.
Who’s paying for this inspection, the seller to see what needs to be done before it’s listed or a prospective buyer?
Oops, saw the title...potential buyer.
You basically it’s a hoopty with a fresh coat of paint??
Not at all, the new owner had this bus completely gone through and it is a creampuff now
RVing with Andrew Steele very nice, you almost have to have a hangar to house it in

Brilliant work! Keep it up! Would you like to be UA-cam friends? :]
Bill gates can afford this.
