Inspection Details

What Your Inspection Covers

Colorado Certified RV Inspection Services puts every major system through its paces during your inspection, whether you’re shopping for a weekend travel trailer or a 40-foot diesel pusher. We operate each component that can be safely run, document its condition with photos, and talk you through what we find. After your inspection, you’ll receive a detailed HomeGauge report with explanations, severity ratings, and a repair priority list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Buying an RV comes with plenty of unknowns. These answers cover what most people want to know before your inspection day arrives.

An RV inspection is an independent, hands-on evaluation of a recreational vehicle’s structure, roof, and onboard systems. It helps buyers catch problems such as water damage, electrical faults, LP gas leaks, or failing appliances before any money changes hands.

Pricing depends on the type and length of the RV, whether it’s a towable or a motorhome, and where it’s parked. Send us a request through our inspection request form or give us a call, and we’ll put together a quote for your specific rig.

Plan on several hours. A compact Class B or a small travel trailer moves faster than a large Class A coach with multiple slides, a generator, and residential-style appliances. Roof access and the overall condition of the unit also affect how long your inspection takes.

You don’t have to, but we recommend it if you can make it. Being there lets you see issues firsthand, ask questions as they come up, and learn how the rig’s systems operate. If you’re buying from out of town, the report is written so you can follow everything remotely.

Every RV has something, including brand-new units fresh off the lot. The report describes the rig’s condition with photos and severity ratings so you can weigh each finding. Our job during your inspection is to give you accurate information. Whether you negotiate, ask for repairs, or pass on the deal is entirely your call, and an inspection is never a pass or fail grade.
