Who this is for

This inspection is perfect if you:

  • Are planning a trip and want zero surprises
  • Bought a used RV and want a baseline condition report
  • Haven’t serviced your motorhome recently
  • Want to prevent downtime and protect resale value
  • Prefer “handle it now” over “deal with it on the highway”

What's included

Safety & Diagnostics 

We check the things that matter most when your family (and your home) are rolling down the road:

  • Propane leak testing
  • Smoke/CO/LP detector check & date verification
  • Dash warning light scan (stored + pending codes)
  • Generator function test + 120V output confirmation
  • Full shore power + inverter system check
  • 120V outlets + GFCI testing
  • Tank monitor panel function test

Plumbing & Water Systems

Water problems can ruin a trip fast — we look for leaks before they find you.

  • Freshwater system pressure test (with photos) 
  • Water heater tested on LP + 120V (temps recorded)
  • Grey tank leak test + drain
  • Black tank leak test + drain

Heating, Cooling & Appliances

Comfort systems are great… until you’re parked somewhere remote and they quit.

  • Roof A/C tested (cool + heat if equipped)
  • Furnace / heat pump / heat strip / electric fireplace tested (temps recorded)
  • Refrigerator tested on LP, 12V, and 120V (temps recorded)
  • Appliances tested: microwave, stove/oven, radio, TV, speakers

Battery, Charging & Electrical

Because “it worked last time” is not a maintenance plan.

  • Alternator + charging performance test
  • Shore power, generator & solar charging verification
  • Battery disconnect function check
  • Terminal condition inspection

Roof, Exterior & Seal Integrity

Roof issues and seal failures are some of the most expensive RV surprises. We check them carefully.

  • Roof inspected for soft spots, age, damage, cleanliness, sealants
  • Roof vents, skylights & antennas inspected
  • Exterior caulking inspected (front, sides, rear, roof)
  • Propane tank inspected (age, condition, DOT compliance)
  • Door, windows, screens & locks tested
  • Windshield checked for damage/leaks
  • Leveling jack system tested (including auto-level accuracy)

Engine, Drivetrain & Road Performance

This is where “it seems fine” becomes either verified… or corrected.

  • Fluids checked: oil, coolant, transmission, power steering
  • Brake fluid tested (moisture/copper)
  • Fuel system inspection (lines, filter, DEF if applicable)
  • Alternator output test
  • Belts, pulleys, radiator, hoses inspected
  • Air filters inspected (engine + cabin if equipped)
  • Leak inspection (oil, transmission, hydraulic, brake, coolant)

  • Tires inspected (pressure, date codes, photos)
  • Brake visual inspection (front/rear + emergency brake)
  • Wipers & washer system tested

What this inspection is

This is a comprehensive function test and condition report.

If we find issues, we’ll document them clearly and provide recommendations.

Why owners do this annually

Because breakdowns are expensive, stressful, and always happen at the worst time.

This inspection helps you:

  • Prevent roadside failures
  • Catch small problems early
  • Protect resale value
  • Travel with confidence
  • Know exactly what your RV needs (and what it doesn’t)
