What does an RV inspection cover?

Our NRVIA certified RV inspection provides a comprehensive evaluation of hundreds of critical points, ranging from the structural integrity of the roof and chassis to the safety of your propane and electrical systems. We perform rigorous testing on all major appliances, plumbing lines, and life-safety devices to ensure every component of your Class A, B, or C motorhome, trailer, or camper is road-ready. By delivering a detailed 60-to-80-page inspection report alongside a personalized new owner orientation, we provide the clear, concise information you need to make an informed decision and invest with total confidence.

How much is an RV inspection?

An RV inspection usually ranges from $400 to $1,200 or more, depending on the size and complexity of the unit. Because a Class A diesel pusher has significantly more systems to test than a travel trailer or a pop-up camper, pricing is tailored to the specific type of RV you are considering. At JDs Mobile RV Service, we provide a customized quote for every client to ensure you only pay for the level of expertise your specific rig requires. Since we bring our professional tools and NRVIA-certified expertise directly to the RV’s location, a mileage-based travel fee is applied to mobile services outside our immediate area. Contact us with the year, make, and model of the RV (along with location) for a precise estimate.

What are the benefits of getting a professional RV assessment before purchase?

Professional RV assessments offer critical protection for your investment by uncovering hidden issues that are often invisible to the untrained eye. Beyond identifying immediate safety hazards like propane leaks or faulty wiring, a certified inspection provides a comprehensive look at the structural health of the unit, including roof seals and water damage that could lead to costly mold or rot. By receiving a detailed report on the condition of all major systems and appliances, you gain significant leverage during price negotiations and avoid the financial burden of unexpected repairs after the sale. Ultimately, an assessment transforms a high-stakes purchase into an informed decision, giving you the peace of mind that your new motorhome or trailer is truly road-ready and safe for your family.

What should I expect during a professional RV inspection?

During a professional RV inspection, you should expect a thorough process that typically lasts between three to eight hours, depending on the size and complexity of the rig. While you are welcome to attend, you do not need to be present for the assessment. The inspection will be carried out with utmost professionalism and honesty.

When to have your RV inspected?

Before making an expensive purchase decision, it is imperative to get an RV inspection to know what you are buying and to have peace of mind. When you pull your rig out of long-term storage or before a major trip are other good times to get your RV checked.

Do brand new RVs need an inspection?

Yes, even brand new RVs can have issues from the factory that a private inspection can find.
