What is an RV inspection?
An RV Inspection is like a home inspection for your RV. This evaluation reviews multiple components on the overall construction and systems of your RV. A comprehensive report will be provided, illustrated with detailed photos and videos where applicable. The report identifies any deficiencies along with potential life safety issues.
How the process works:
Easy as 1-2-3, a few steps must take place before an actual inspection is scheduled. Select an inspection type from the list above. Provide year, make, model and location of RV. Once a date is confirmed, agreements will be sent to review and approve.
What you can expect:
Email notifications will provide updates along the way. Online access to view your inspection report through Home Guage will be sent within 24 to 48 hours following the inspection. As the client, you are the only one with access to this report.
