There are imported travel trailers forsale that are brought in from overseas as me and my wifes Keystone travel trailer was. It can be worse if the imported travel trailer forsale does not comply to the laws of the country it is imported into. Or even worse there are no specific rules covering that trailer which is taken for granted as being OK.
If the imported travel trailer did not fail when getting its compliance certificate then it is considered to be legal to be used on the roads in the country it has been imported into.
The hidden faults have been missed or noted for attention next time. So the imported travel trailer is ready to be sold to someone who is unaware of any hidden faults and has no idea what to look for.

In a lot of cases the dealers do not realize this. If they do they are deliberately passing it on while only giving a ninety day limited warranty on their imported travel trailers forsale. If the fault noted does not have to be looked at till next time then the dealer leaves that up to the new owner.
This is standard practice when the rules are not clear. When the rules do change then it is you the one who bought the imported travel trailer who has to correct the fault to bring it up to standard.
The dealers have two options when this happens. One to correct the defect so that compliance is adhered too or just do the ones in their yard and to stop importing the offending trailers.
This all depends on where you live and what country the new or used travel trailer is from. I would now be inclined to look for a locally made caravan rather than an import. .But more and more imports are being sold so the caveat buyer beware applies even more.
• Adria caravans • Bailey caravans
• Elddis caravans • Eriba caravans
• Freedom caravans
• Hobby caravans • Lunar caravans
• Sprite caravans • Swift caravans
Now warranties and guarantees may apply in the country they are made when new. When purchased secondhand this may not be the case unless the country the imported travel trailers forsale are exported too is a dealer of the manufacturers product. Usually though they deal in the new trailers and only trade in used trailers on a brand new one.
But guarantees and warranties maybe transferable in some cases if the trailer is purchased at a licenced dealer of that product and has been serviced once a year by the dealer.
So if the seller is not an official dealer then any warranties and guarantees are no longer applicable to any imported travel trailers forsale causing another concern. Hidden problems are only under limited warranty of ninety days. In other cases there maybe no warranty at all.
This leaves you wide open to be taken advantage of. Your search for your dream RV can be disappointing if you are ignorant about travel trailers forsale. This is why information and knowledge about these imported travel trailers is so important.
