Anita and I have been inspecting RVs since March of 2018. We bought our RV when we began anticipating retirement and wanted to travel and see the country from the ground rather than a plane window. It’s a big, beautiful country out there that’s so much more than a three-hour plane ride can express.

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.

Anita and I work as a team to provide an RV inspection that will give you the most information we are able to gather for you to make an informed purchasing decision. There are many variables to consider when doing an inspection as well as things for you to consider when hiring us to do the inspection. Knowledge is power and we believe in giving our clients as much knowledge as possible.

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.
Many travel locations are closed and many others are severely limited. It is very important that everyone follow common sense precautions to remain health and safe during this time. We ourselves had to cancel our trip of a lifetime to visit several National Parks this summer.
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.

This year we have had the opportunity to inspect all manner of RVs: Class As, Class Bs, Class Cs, Fifth Wheels, Travel Trailers and Park Models. We have enjoyed the opportunity of working with first time buyers and seasoned owners.
Here is what we have learned.

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.
