I did the online NRVIA inspector course and signed up with them to get listed in their database. I didn't go to do the hands-on portion. I don't remember how much it was, but it wasn't cheap. I just wanted some knowledge about RV systems so I could fix something on the road. Come time to renew, I didn't because I got exactly zero referrals from NRVIA. I didn't see any reason to send them more money.
Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, I did a webcast with the local dealers' association about inspections. They put up my website as part of the cast. 7 o'clock the next morning I get an email from NRVIA saying that I needed to take their logo off my website because I didn't keep up. I did that right away and wrote back saying that if their marketing department was as efficient as their web police, then I would still be a member.
I was not impressed with NRVIA. Their prices are unreasonable and they take about half the fee. I didn't get a single referral in 2 years.
