When performing an exterior check of an RV, what should be examined for cracks or holes?

When conducting an exterior check of an RV, examining the fiberglass and aluminum components is essential for identifying potential issues. Both materials are commonly used in RV construction, and they can be prone to damage. Cracks or holes in fiberglass can lead to water intrusion, which may cause significant internal damage and mold growth. Aluminum, while generally more durable, can also develop cracks, especially at joints or where it is riveted. Evaluating these materials ensures that the structural integrity and weatherproofing of the RV are intact, helping to maintain the performance and safety of the vehicle.

In comparison, while inspecting windows and doors, body panels and roofs, as well as the chassis and frame, is important, it does not specifically focus on the often affected sections that fiberglass and aluminum represent. These options may cover broader areas but lack the specificity needed to identify critical weaknesses in materials that can easily sustain damage.
