RV inspections
Making the decision to have an RV Inspection before you make the purchase commitment is very important. Having the inspection done by a Certified NRVIA inspector is equally important. I am an NRVIA Certified Inspector. We perform a visual, non-invasive inspection providing an overview of the major systems and condition of the RV. You will receive a detailed report including photographs detailing our findings.
Our enterprise was borne out of the desire to help people make that all important RV buying decision. We won’t tell you to buy -or not buy. However we WILL provide you with an Inspection Report giving you information that can help you make that decision. We can also examine your current rig to provide you with information if you’re about to sell.
Below are some of our inspection points:
- Life Safety Items – Propane leaks, Electrical System Malfunction, Smoke Alarms, Carbon Monoxide Detectors, Fire Extinguishers
- Roof -Caulking and Seams
- Sidewalls and endcaps -Condition

The Best Way to Get an Inspection Quote From Us
We quote our inspections on an individual basis based on the exact year, make, model and location of the RV. Send us an email with a link to the ad for the RV you’re looking at (such as from RV Trader, Facebook Marketplace, etc.). Go to the ad and copy and paste the link from your web browser’s address bar in the email. If there is no ad available, give the year, make and model of the RV and where it’s located, and we’ll look up the specs. We’ll send you an email with our quote, detailed information about our inspections and our next availability.
Happy Shopping!
Testimonials

“Hi Ron and Anita,
Good Morning! My husband and I reviewed the report last night and submitted our list to the dealer. Thank you for making all the information so concise and easy to find. The report was extremely helpful.
We do have a potential deal breaker- we were told the new 2023 model we were purchasing had a tankless hot water heater. This was a HUGE selling point for us. From your report, we gleaned that this was actually an older model 2023 that did not have the tankless hot water heater. They began installing them (along with some changes to the interior) in the second half of 2023 production.
Without your report, we would not have had the accurate information necessary to make a well informed decision. Absolutely invaluable!
Thank you again.
All the best,
Carla” -NY

“Ron and Anita, Thank you for your services. I truly enjoyed working with you and felt that I was in extremely knowledgeable hands. Your inspection report on my 2014 Sunseeker by Forest River (yes I did purchase it) was as detailed and professional as could be obtained given the restrictions of the winterization of the vehicle and the inability to arrange a “ride along” test drive. I did negotiate a lower purchase price given the suggested repairs needed and possibility of other potential problems that could not be seen. The only suggestion for improvement would be to try and shorten the time it took–9am-6pm was a long day for the seller and contributed to the inability to find time for the ride along. I also, really appreciated the timely updates and efforts on your part to obtain the delayed fluid analysis report. I was very satisfied and appreciative and would recommend your company to any other potential RV buyers.”
Sincerely grateful,
-Paula, Norwich, CT

“Hi Ron,
-John, Pomfret, CT
Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your quick accommodation of our RV inspection. I know that this time of year is a difficult time to do inspections and that we changed days a couple of times…..but it all worked out and I think you agreed that we had a fifth wheel worth purchasing, even though it was the wrong time of year !! Your “team” did a thorough job under some trying conditions and you were able to give me answers to all my questions. I will not hesitate to recommend you guys to anyone looking for an inspection. Again, thank you.”
