As an NRVIA Certified RV Inspector, I follow the standards of practice and the code of ethics as required by the association. The comprehensive report you will get breaks down any issues found into: 1-Life Safety issues, 2-Major issues, 3-Minor issues, and 4- Inspector observations/comments. This report can also give you leverage to have repairs done before signing the dotted line or lower the sales price- oftentimes effectively covering the cost of the inspection.

I believe in being fair and transparent about my pricing- everyone sees the same pricing below (current as of 3/2024, subject to change semi-annually).
Total focuses on functionality of the components (ie, does the A/C work at efficiency? Does the stove turn on?). On average, a total inspection takes 4-6 hours on site. Total inspection reports include around 50 pictures and are often around 50 pages in length.
*Please note that an inspection location greater than 75 miles or 1.5 hours from service area base of Gloucester VA and greater than 50 miles or 1 hour from Huntingtown MD will include an additional $75 travel fee for both levels of inspection.
Premier will also look at the condition and style of those components (ie, what brand of water heater is there? what is the output wattage of the microwave?). A Premier level inspection takes 6-8 hours on site. Premier inspection reports include 80-100 pictures, including 360 degree images, and are often around 100 pages in length.
When I get to the site, I will send a time stamped picture and let you know I am starting the inspection. I then provide a verbal report as I am wrapping up the inspection, and upload the written report by noon the next day.
I will be available for a follow up call within a few days of you receiving the report to answer any questions. If you’re interested in seeing an example report, I am happy to send you one by email.
If you still have questions, please free to call or text me at 804-625-4876, email me at [email protected], or check out our FAQ’s.
If you don’t want a full, NRVIA level inspection or if you already purchased your RV, I offer several alternatives.
A Safety Evaluation will inspect and test items such as tires, axles, LP/CO detectors, an LP leak test, batteries, turn signals, and more for $200. Can also be used as a bare minimum pre-purchase inspection.
A Warranty Expiration inspection can be done after your purchase and before your warranty expires. Pricing depends on your warranty terms, but starts at $200 for 2 hours.
A Pre-Trip Inspection is exactly what it sounds like- a check of systems and appliances before you leave for a long trip, time or mileage wise. It includes a life safety inspection as well as a test of appliances for $350.
