I guess that you cant really over rev or do donnuts etc eith a hire camper trailer.
Things to look out for is excess wear in the canvas, as in they may have been too rough in putting up the tent part. Or may not have even put it away properly.
One would hope that the hire company inspected the canvas after every hire and packed it correctly.
They may have even over loaded the trailer so the springs might be sagged or over stressed, check the axle is straight by using a straight edge or spirit level..
You may have to replace the wheel bearings and shackles and bushes. They are all fairly cheap but if you cant do it yourself then factor in a few hundred $$$.. By bargaining them down by that.
Otherwise anywhere thats can be used as storage then there may be excessive marks and scratches.. Look at those places you mayhave to repaint those areas or new timber etc etc..
The wiring may have been abused so may need to rewire, change lights..
All fittings like stoves taps etc would have had excessive use so may not last as long.
Thats a start..
Then again, all the above could be a fault in privately owned campers too, especially if they have done big trips around aust etc.
So check it over, check out A few campers to get an idea of what to look for And look at.u might find an ex hire trailer in better condition than a camper thats been around aust. Or other privately own campers..
Ya just gotta get em checked over thoughoughly so wear old clothes so you can lie under neath them..
