About Us

Qualified independent inspection services are a largely unfulfilled need in the RV space. Expert RV Inspections & Service LLC was formed because we felt there was a need to address this lack of service in the area.

Originally, we participated in and became registered in an NRVTA Registered Technician course, as a way to learn RV maintenance and service on our own personal RV. During the training course, it became obvious that there was a large void in the RV sales marketplace, where potential buyers had little or no protection from false seller assurances, intentional or not, as to the condition of the RV they might be considering to purchase. Relying on the dealer's or private seller's statements about the condition of the RV frequently leads to significant problems down the road, with all issues discovered now falling on the buyer's shoulders. Qualified independent inspection services prior to the sale would greatly minimize that risk.

We have decades of combined experience in the clinical health and biotechnology industries, which allow us to use our extensive training and observation skills with extreme attention to detail in the RV inspection business. Such skills are essential in performing a complete RV inspection, and have served us well in the RV inspections we have performed thus far for satisfied customers.
