Buying an RV is an exciting milestone, whether it’s brand new from the dealership or a well-loved model from a private seller. But before you take possession and embark on your adventures, there’s one crucial step that can save you time, money, and frustration—getting a professional RV inspection. Hidden issues, manufacturer defects, or unnoticed wear and tear can turn your dream purchase into a costly headache. An inspection ensures your RV is road-ready, safe, and free of surprises, giving you peace of mind before you hit the highway.

Whether you are buying a new or used RV or planning on selling yours, getting an RV inspection provides you peace of mind in your purchase or a streamlined sale as your inspection has already been done enabling you to deal with repairs that need to be made before you put it up for sale.
Not all inspections are created equal. NRVIA Certified Inspectors are the gold standard in the industry. We follow a strict Standard of Practice and code of Ethics, meaning you get a thorough, unbiased assessment of your future RV's condition. With a professional inspection, you gain critical insights to help you make a smart investment, which protects your wallet, your safety and your RV adventures.
Our Premier Inspections include an in-depth evaluation covering over 500 points throughout the entire RV. This extensive inspection, which often takes a full day, examines everything from the roof to the chassis, including plumbing, electrical, appliances, seals, and structural integrity. It’s the best way to ensure your RV is in top condition and free of hidden problems before you hit the road.
RV inspections are essential for protecting both your investment and your safety. Early problem detection can prevent minor issues from turning into costly repairs down the road, saving you time, money, and stress. Safety is another critical factor—faulty propane systems, electrical hazards, or brake failures can put you and others at risk. A thorough inspection ensures these dangers are identified and addressed before they become serious threats. Additionally, regular inspections help prolong the lifespan of your RV by catching wear and tear before it leads to major damage. Whether you’re buying a new or used RV, an inspection gives you peace of mind, knowing your home-on-wheels is road-ready and built to last.
