We just received this email from a client in 2024. This really brings joy to our heart that we were able to play a small role in getting this family started on a firm foundation in RV life. They are making memories that will last a lifetime.

"Hi Ron ...You inspected our brand new Winnebago 31H class C back in 2024 that I bought for my family. I just wanted to say thanks again for your inspection, and say how helpful the RV boot camp & docs you gave me have been. It was really helpful to have an RV veteran get me up to speed. I've had other friends buy RVs since and they have not had nearly as good of experiences that we've had with your help. We've taken many trips in Florida and beyond since your inspection. Been to PA, OH, WV, GA, VA, SC, and last summer we even spent 6 weeks in the south West doing 10 national parks with the family (I've included a few pictures). This summer we're planning on hitting the west coast for 2 months to do CA, OR, & WA. I hope you are doing well and just wanted to show you some pictures of our adventures. Thanks again!

We inspected a 2024 Winnebago Navion for an out of state client. This RV was new, old stock at a central FL dealership. We found four Life/Safety Issues, six Major, and 14 Minor. The safety issues were related to overinflated tires and a loose electrical box in the loft bed area. The significant Major issues were hydraulic jack leaks with hydraulic fluid spray evident in the undercarriage. In addition there was a plumbing leak and degraded roof sealant that presented potential water intrusion points. The Minor issues had to do with generally poor build quality and workmanship from the factory. Even though this RV was new, it, like all other RVs do not age well when they sit in the environment without regular use and maintenance. Whether new or preowned, the investment in an NRVIA certified inspection gives you the objective knowledge of the true condition of the RV so you can make an informed purchase decision. 352-224-9477 www.rvinspectpro.com

We inspected a 2020 Coachmen Galleria for an out of state client. This RV was located at a private seller location in close proximity to the Atlantic ocean. We found six Life/Safety Issues, nine Major, and 20 Minor. The safety issues were related to aged and past useful service life tires, smoke, CO, and LP detectors. Major issues were sidewall damage, sealant degradation, and non functional appliances like the water heater. The salt water environment had taken its toll with rust, mildew, and corrosion evident on interior as well as exterior fixtures and surfaces. The RV sales social media listing pictures never adequately convey the true condition of the RV.

We ended the 2025 year with an inspection of a new 2025 Winnebago View. We have been inspecting RVs for several years, and we are still looking for that perfect one. We found 1 Life/Safety issue (significantly over inflated tire), 18 Major, and 15 Minor issues with this new RV. There were several items that the factory simply 'forgot' to install. Other items were more expected such as plumbing leaks and sealant gaps. One of the more significant was a shower surround that was loose and not properly secured to the wall backing. New RVs have new technology which can be glitchy when missing software updates as this one proved to be. A shout out goes to Jack and Sunshine State RVs in Gainesville, FL for hosting this inspection. Their integrity in business practices are second to none and our client was assured that all issues found would be corrected.

We started the year with a classic 24 year old Class C RV inspection. The Lazy Daze brand was founded in 1956 and is credited with creating the first Class C RV in 1966. Their RVs were hand crafted and although they went out of business in 2022 the brand has established a cult following. We expected to see normal age related items through the course of the inspection, however, this RV suffered from neglected maintenance and upkeep. We found 8 Life/Safety issues, 38 Major and 11 Minor. Water pe*******on must be prevented in order to preserve the integrity of the RV. The roof, sidewall, and window sealant was not maintained resulting in interior water damage and delamination of the sidewall. A 'humorous' safety concern was identified when the cigar lighter was tested. Once heated it ejected with the force of a Saturn 5 rocket directly into the lap of the driver. (I can move pretty quickly when I need to) Annual maintenance is key to preserving the value of your RV.

Inspected a 2025 Roadtrek Zion Slumber earlier this year. This is one of the better constructed Class B RVs that we have inspected. There were only a few issues found that were mostly fit and finish that were easily corrected by the dealer technicians. We found several 12volt circuits that were non-functional, sealant gaps on the kitchen counter, and a loose tail light assembly. Although considered to be normal and generally safe we called attention to a dimmer switch in the pop top bunk sleeping area that measured 102 Degrees F on the surface when turned on. A shout out goes to Sunshine State RVs in Gainesville, FL for hosting this inspection and to Brandon Darling in Sales who provided excellent customer service for our client.

Inspected a 2017 Winnebago Cambria 30J earlier this year. Although lovingly maintained by the owner, the RV had several Safety, 3 Major and 15 Minor Issues. The RV had a Flex Armor lifetime RV roof coating and I have to say that it was the best sealed RV roof we have ever inspected. Of particular concern with safety were the DIY electrical modifications made that violated safe code practices such as tapping into the dedicated microwave circuit. The undercarriage inspection also revealed worn bushings that can adversely affect the safe handling of the RV at speed.

Inspected a new 2025 Gulfstream Vintage Cruiser for a local client earlier this year. We viewed the manufacturer's facility tour video that expounded on their quality control so we were quite surprised by our inspection results. We found 1 Safety, 7 Major and 5 Minor issues. The safety issue was a flat tire. The Major issues involved an entry door that was inoperable, poorly fitting slide blade seals that left open gaps, an inoperable Solar Controller and a Dinette Table whose legs fell apart. The toilet was loosely mounted and the shower floor was damaged.
