As part of an RV inspection drawing fluid samples and sending them off to the lab can provide very useful information when considering the purchase of an RV in addition to an inspection by a certified engine mechanic. The NRVIA has a very helpful document explaining all the benefits of fluid analysis that you can review here; so I won’t bother to reiterate it all.
Instead, I want to let you know the mechanics and drawbacks.

Late in 2020 the NRVIA, the national organization that I am certified through for RV Inspections, notified me that they were changing the certification process nation wide for RV Inspectors. They decided to do away with Level 1 certifications and have only one certification that they would call “Certified RV Inspector”. Since their inception they have had two levels inspectors: Level 1 inspectors to provide “basic” inspections and Level 2 inspectors to provide more detailed inspections. Now all Level 1 inspectors who wished to continue being certified would need to complete the Level 2 certification.

We have received several calls for RV Inspections during this challenging time.

This is a challenging time for RVers. We would all rather be hitting the road, sitting around the camp fire, meeting fellow RVers, or just seeing where the open road takes us. In this time of social distancing and staying safe at home, how do we do that?
We can’t.
But we CAN do quite a bit to continue our RV passion.

Spring is almost here and we will be ready to hit the road. Thoughts of traveling the country and perhaps buying that RV you’ve always wanted are on your mind. Don’t make any hasty purchasing decisions, and don’t buy something that will make you spend the travel season fixing it up, rather than hitting the road.
Have that RV inspected by a Certified NRVIA Inspector and have the peace of mind that comes with knowing you made a sound buying decision.

Hello!
After recently “retiring” from the corporate world, yet not quite ready for the rocking chair, we decided to purchase an RV and see the country. We had always been too busy working.
Buying an RV was a harrowing experience. We did tons of research and spent many hours learning everything we could about making an informed buying decision. Still feeling ill-equipped, we found an RV that fit our criteria, and was in decent shape. If only we knew there was an RV inspector who could check it out for us. . .
