No matter if this is your first caravan or tenth motorhome purchase, CARACHECK pre-purchase inspection reports are quick and easy to read and understand.

The reader can quickly recognise issues with the vehicle and use them confidently in the negotiation and buying process.
Our Pre-Purchase Inspections
We provide three levels of pre-purchase inspection checks to cover your individual requirements and your budget. They all however start on the roof of the caravan, one of the most important areas checking for water ingress and silicone quality. Our team are experts in identifying water and leak issues on caravans and motorhomes. Hit the button to learn more details about our 3 types of pre-purchase inspections...
Moisture Detectors Are Not Enough!
As a part of our pre-purchase inspections for caravans and motorhomes, we thoroughly examine the vehicle for any moisture within the vehicle. Moisture meters by themselves can be inaccurate, we back up any findings using the latest thermographic cameras. Our team are experts in the detection of moisture and water ingress.
Best In Market Testing Technology
Did you know that replacing one house battery (the battery that runs your reading lights, water pump, shower, etc.) will cost you a minimum of around $450 to replace (that's more than the cost of an inspection!). We use the latest testing equipment to ensure batteries are fit and healthy. We have saved purchasers tens of thousands of dollars in identifying end-of-life batteries alone! Battery checks are a standard inclusion on most of our pre-purchase inspections.
Three Types of Pre-Purchase Inspection
We provide three levels of pre-purchase checks to suit your motorhome/caravan buying experience and budget:
- Ultimate: Our most comprehensive check to protect your investment decision.
- Essentials: Everything you need to make a confident decision to go ahead (or not!) with the purchase.
- Basic: The core basics to give you a solid understanding of the main components.
Optional Extras: Water Testing and Ownership Checks!
In addition to CARACHECKS three robust report options (one to suit every budget and requirement), we also offer two optional reports:
- Fresh Water Tank Test: We test the fresh water tank (i.e. the drinking, showering, dishwashing water) for any bacteria, toxicity and grime! Exclusively available only at CARACHECK!
- PPSR Report: We check if there is any finance/debt lodged against the vehicle (avoid repossession!), if the vehicle has previously sustained any major damage and if it is presently listed as stolen!
