An RV inspection involves a thorough examination of the vehicle's components, much like a home inspection. Here is an example of what our inspections will check:
- Exterior:
- Roof integrity, sealant condition, and signs of water intrusion
- Sidewall condition, decals, and paint fading
- Windows, doors, and compartments for proper sealing and locking
- Undercarriage for rust, corrosion, and structural damage
- Tires for age, tread depth, and sidewall cracking
- Interior:
- Flooring, cabinetry, and upholstery for wear or damage
- Appliances (fridge, stove, microwave) for functionality
- Plumbing system: water pump, tanks, faucets, and drains
- Electrical system: outlets, breakers, battery health, and converter
- HVAC: air conditioning and furnace operation
- Mechanical & Safety Systems:
- Brake system and suspension
- Safety gear: fire extinguisher, CO/smoke detectors, seat belts
- Generator and solar setup (if applicable)
📋 Why the Inspection Report Matters
- Negotiation Tool: Helps buyers justify price adjustments based on needed repairs
- Maintenance Planning: Identifies issues before they become costly
- Insurance & Warranty: Some policies require inspection documentation
- Peace of Mind: Confirms the RV is roadworthy and safe for travel
