RV INSPECTOR IN THE RICHMOND , Va. area

Hello,

I NEED A RV INSPECTOR IN Richmond, Va. area!!!!! If you know of any, please advise. Also, what would be the standard cost of an inspection?

I'm new to RV'ing and I need to get a Class A Diesel Pusher Motor-home inspected ASAP. I live in the Richmond, VA area as I stated, and I need a professional on a 340 Hp Cummins diesel as well as the structure itself.

2008 Forest River Berkshire 360QS
Please any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Kcee
  • RV inspections are the same as regular vehicle inspections and cost the same. Anyone who does VA state inspections can do it.

    Edit: Or do you mean you wish to have an rv inspected structurally and mechanically for purchase like one would do a home inspection?
  • Why?
    There are no recognized standards for an RV inspector and his opinion has no guaranty. Much like a home inspector the quality you get is a toss up and if something is missed Oh Well to bad so sad.
    First find a good mobile RV mechanic to come look the rig over with you. Then Find the manufacturer of the motor/chassis and take it there for an engine power train inspection.

    If you choose wisely you will find 2 places to service your rig for you.

    Find the mobile mechanic by calling a local big RV resort/campground and ask who the recommend.

    You can also try RVservicereviews.com to find someone.

    Additionally go to the local flying j and buy one of the oil analysis kits they sell. Put the oil in the container ship it off and get a report back that will be pretty thorough on the engine condition.

    The last person I would use is a inspection service

    We just go to a regular Virginia State Inspection station here in King George and sometimes out in Montross where the service station guys are more down to earth.

    If you want a RV SMART place the SAFFORD RV place in Thornburg South on I95 is a good bunch. Exit 118 I think it i s Friendly folks there as well...
