RV Inspection Services You Can Trust
New or used, an RV inspection is not optional. It’s your best defense against costly surprises, safety risks, and the frustration of endless repairs. RV Brokers connects you with NRVIA certified inspectors who know exactly where to look and what to catch—before it’s too late.
Why Every RV Needs an Inspection—New or Used
Most people assume new RVs are in perfect condition. Sadly, that’s rarely the case. RV manufacturing is notoriously inconsistent, with many units leaving the factory riddled with defects. And once you take possession? The fight to get warranty work done can take months—or even years.
At RV Brokers, we’ve owned over a dozen RVs and seen it all. Our NRVIA certified inspectors give you a thorough, unbiased assessment so you can make an informed decision before you sign on the dotted line.
A Personal Story: What We Learned the Hard Way
We once purchased a fifth wheel that looked great on paper. But shortly after taking it home, my wife was shocked—literally—multiple times. The entire outer skin of the RV was “hot” due to an undetected electrical fault. If we hadn’t figured it out when we did, it could’ve ended far worse.
This is why every RV—new or used—needs an expert inspection. You can’t rely on looks alone.
End of Warranty Inspections—Don’t Let Your Coverage Expire Without One
We also recommend End of Warranty RV Inspections. Manufacturers typically give you 12 months of coverage, but issues often go unnoticed until it’s too late. An inspection just before your warranty expires helps you uncover hidden problems so you can get them fixed—on their dime, not yours.
What Does an RV Inspection Cost?
RV inspections typically range from several hundred to several thousand dollars. The investment is worth every penny when it protects your safety, finances, and peace of mind.
| RV Type | Estimated Inspection Cost | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Travel Trailer / Pop-Up | $300 – $600 | Exterior & Interior Inspection, Electrical, Plumbing, Roof, Tires |
| Fifth Wheel | $500 – $900 | Comprehensive Systems Check, Frame & Chassis, Slide-Outs |

Don’t gamble with your investment—or your safety. Our certified RV inspections are the smartest decision you can make before buying (or selling) an RV.
Schedule Your Inspection TodayFrequently Asked Questions
Do I really need an inspection on a brand-new RV?
Yes! New RVs are often delivered with manufacturing defects, incomplete assembly, or missed quality checks. An independent inspection ensures everything works as promised before you take delivery.
What does an NRVIA certified inspector check?
NRVIA certified inspectors perform a comprehensive review of the RV’s systems, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, chassis, roof, appliances, and safety features. They identify hidden issues that could lead to costly repairs later.
How long does an RV inspection take?
Most RV inspections take between 4 to 8 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the RV. Larger Class A or Super C motorhomes may require a full day or multiple visits for a thorough review.
What happens if the inspection finds problems?
If issues are found, you’ll receive a detailed report with photos and descriptions. You can use this information to negotiate repairs or pricing adjustments before closing the deal—or walk away if necessary.
Are end-of-warranty inspections worth it?
Absolutely. Many RV problems don’t show up right away. A thorough inspection before your warranty expires gives you the chance to catch and fix hidden defects before you’re responsible for costly out-of-pocket repairs.
