The reason to have a pre-purchase inspection when buying a used motorhome or caravan is to uncover any hidden problems*. The benefit of doing this, in the worst case scenario, is being able to step back from the purchase of a motorhome or caravan that has a serious hidden problem. Or in the case of smaller, more manageable problems, at least being able renegotiate the price.
The type of problems that can be uncovered by a pre-purchase inspection are of course many and varied. But the common, and potentially most serious problem you need to be aware of, is of course damp. Because of the sandwich construction method of motorhome and caravan walls, damp can build up over time inside without being visible. When it does become visible, you are already at the stage of requiring an expensive repair.
Important: You should have a pre-purchase inspection carried out whoever and wherever you are buying from. Yes, even from a dealer!
