Purchasing an RV is a significant investment. Whether buying new or used, an independent inspection gives you an unbiased, professional evaluation of the RV's condition. Certified inspectors follow strict Standards of Practice to uncover hidden issues, safety concerns, or maintenance needs before you buy. This protects you from unexpected, costly repairs and gives you leverage during purchase negotiations.

Unbiased Expertise: Unlike sellers or dealers, an independent inspector works strictly for you to uncover existing defects, wear, or safety issues.

Life Safety Checks: We test critical life-safety systems, including propane timed leak tests, GFCI/hot skin electrical hazards, emergency exits, and smoke/CO detectors.

Detailed Reporting: You receive an in-depth report complete with 100+ photos and videos detailing major systems—including the roof, sidewalls, electrical, plumbing, slideouts, awnings, and appliances.

Negotiation & Peace of Mind: Knowing the true condition of the RV protects you from unexpected, costly repair bills right after purchase and gives you leverage during price negotiations.

While visual walkthroughs are helpful, many critical components—such as AC efficiency (Delta T), converter outputs, circuit breaker wiring, gas pressure, and roof seal integrity—require specialized testing tools and trained expertise. Dealer pre-delivery inspections (PDIs) are often high-level internal checks, whereas a certified inspection follows strict Standards of Practice set by the National RV Inspectors Association (NRVIA).

An inspection is a detailed, non-invasive, visual examination of the recreational vehicle's current condition. It covers major operational systems, including life safety detectors and LP gas leak testing, the 120V AC and 12V DC electrical systems, plumbing and waste holding tanks, roof condition and sealants, slide-outs and awnings, appliances, and structural interior/exterior components. Reports include 100+ photos and video documentation.

Fluid analysis involves pulling samples from engine oil, engine coolant, transmission fluid, generator oil/coolant, and aqua-hot heating systems to be analyzed by an affiliate laboratory. It provides color-coded diagnostic reports that reveal internal component wear or contamination before costly breakdowns occur.

All inspections strictly adhere to the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice set by the National RV Inspectors Association (NRVIA).

To perform a complete inspection, the RV must be parked on a level surface with clearance to extend all slides, awnings, and safely place a ladder. The unit must be hooked up to 30/50-amp electrical power, city water, and a sewer hookup. RV absorption refrigerators must be turned on at least 12 hours prior to the inspection (4 hours for residential fridges). Propane tanks must be at least half full, generators fueled/oiled, and personal items removed from interior compartments.

To perform a thorough inspection, the RV must be properly set up with active utility hookups (water, power, sewer), functioning batteries, propane, and clear space to extend slides and awnings. If required setup conditions are not met, related components cannot be tested, which will be noted in your report. We can work with the seller or dealer to ensure the unit is fully prepared prior to our arrival.

No. An RV inspection provides a point-in-time "snapshot" of the vehicle’s observable condition at the time of testing. It does not constitute a warranty, guarantee, or insurance policy, nor does it evaluate hidden structural areas behind walls, underflooring, or roof layers.

Notice of Issues: If you ever have a concern regarding a service or inspection, we request written notification within 7 days of service completion so we can address and evaluate the situation promptly.

Payment for your RV inspection is due prior to the start of the scheduled on-site inspection. Full payment secures your spot on our schedule and ensures our inspector is dispatched to the vehicle's location.
