What are RV Services?
RV Services are those services performed outside the scope of the RV Inspection. They do not necessarily fall under the category of RV repairs, but usually are considered to be RV Maintenance.
Expert RV Inspections & Service cannot perform repairs on your RV for a period of one year after the inspection, to avoid any risk of the inspector being tempted to "find" issues that don't exist in order to "fix" them. But preventive maintenance and other services that have no bearing on the inspection are perfectly fine for us to take care of.
New Owner RV Orientation and Walkthrough
Most new RV buyers at a dealership receive a "walkthrough" of their new RV either shortly after or possibly before the finances are completed. The employee performing this walkthrough with the buyer(s) may be a dedicated person who does this all day long, or maybe just a technician pulled from the shop to rush them through it. At any rate, you might be lucky to get an hour or so of their time, with them then running through each and every system in your RV at a dizzying pace, while they hand you a huge thick packet of all your warranty documents and instruction manuals. You then get home and might have the overwhelming feeling of "what did he say about ...?"
Expert RV Inspections & Service can arrange to meet with you and your family at your RV after the purchase, and take all the time you need to locate, demonstrate, operate and explain about each and every system in your RV, excepting for the engine and transmission in motorized RV's. We will demonstrate hands on how all the systems work, and recommend tricks and other ways to make the operation of your RV easier for you. This can be a fixed amount of time or open-ended on an hourly rate. Let us know if we can help you schedule your walkthrough by contacting us here.
Black Tank Service - Blockages, "Poo Pyramids" and Tank Sensor Cleaning
Black tank service is generally not on the top of RV'ers lists of enjoyable things to do, especially when a black tank is not working properly. Also, if you need other work done at a dealer, and you show up with full black tanks, they will charge you upwards of $300.00 an hour to deal with them.
Sometimes a black tank will not drain all the solids properly, and these will build up, needing to be flushed out. Perhaps the owners did not flush enough water down the toilet during use, or for whatever reason the solids began accumulating in a more or less semi-dry "poo pyramid" that now needs to be addressed. The accumulating solids can also block the sensor ports, leading to faulty levels being shown on your main panels.
While we cannot guarantee that each and every black tank issue can be addressed, Expert RV Inspections & Service can come to your RV, evaluate the problem, and either take care of it during the service call or determine that more extensive repairs may be necessary. We would require a full-service sewer/septic tank access. Please note that a "honey wagon" which may be on site may be unsuitable due to the fact that they may be on a schedule and cannot "hang around" possibly for the hours that may be needed to handle your issue. Please contact us here to set up an appointment.
Air Conditioner Inspection / Cleaning
In most, if not all RV's the A/C unit is located on the roof. The unit needs regular maintenance, including cleaning the evaporator coils, cleaning the condenser coils, checking the filters and possibly other components. There is generally no way to access all the A/C components from inside the RV - you have to climb up on the roof to get to them.
Many people feel unsafe climbing up on their roofs, or may be physically unable to do so.
At Expert RV Inspections & Service, we can provide service to your AC unit(s) in a safe and secure manner. Contact us here to make an appointment.
