Pre-Purchase RV Inspection

Spend a few hundred. Potentially save tens of thousands.

A thorough, photo-documented inspection before you sign — performed by people who work for you, not the seller.

Why It Matters

A Beautiful Listing Hides a Lot

Used coaches photograph extremely well. A detail job and good lighting can make a rig with a saturated roof, delaminating sidewall and eleven-year-old tires look like a showpiece in an online listing.

Meanwhile the seller — who may be entirely honest — genuinely might not know. Plenty of owners have no idea their roof seams are failing, because who climbs up there?

An inspection gives you one of three outcomes, and all three are worth the money:

  • Walk away. We find a deal-breaker and you don't buy someone else's expensive problem.
  • Negotiate. You get a documented, itemized defect list — which is remarkably persuasive leverage on price.
  • Buy with confidence. The coach checks out and you close knowing exactly what you own.

We have no stake in whether you buy. Our report goes to you and nobody else.

Straight Answers

Pre-Purchase FAQs

Can you inspect a coach at a dealership or private seller's location?

Our most thorough work happens here in our bay with a lift. When that isn't possible, call us and we'll discuss options for your situation.

The dealer says it already passed their inspection. Is that enough?

Their inspection was performed by the party selling you the coach. That's not a criticism of them — it's just a different set of incentives. An independent inspection costs a fraction of one repair you didn't know about.

How long does it take and what do I get?

Several hours for a thorough job on a large coach. You receive a written report with photographs, organized by priority: safety first, then near-term repairs, then cosmetic and monitoring items — in plain English.

Will you tell me if you'd buy it?

We'll tell you what we found, what it'll cost to fix, and what we'd be concerned about. The purchase decision is yours — but we won't be coy about a coach we think is trouble.
