What a pre-purchase inspection covers
The good ones go beyond a walkaround. They'll get on the roof, check for soft spots, and use a moisture meter on the ceiling and walls. They'll run the generator under load, test every appliance, and look at the chassis and propane system. Of the 8 inspectors listed here, 5 handle motorhomes, 3 do roof checks, and 2 specifically look for leaks. Ask what's included before you book. Our first inspection missed a delaminated sidewall because the inspector didn't use a moisture meter. The second one caught it, and we walked. A written report should list what was tested, what failed, and photos of anything questionable.
Why California rigs need a close look
Sun and coastal air can be hard on seals and roofs. A rig that lived near the ocean may have corrosion you won't see in a driveway. Three of these inspectors offer roof services, and two of those also check for moisture. That matters. We looked at a diesel pusher in the Central Valley that looked clean until the inspector found active leak stains in the rear closet. The seller acted surprised. Maybe he was. Either way, the report saved us a five-figure mistake. Book the inspection before you finalize the deposit. Never use the seller's inspector, even if they offer to split the cost. You want someone who works for you.
Choosing an inspector in California
Experience with your rig type counts. If you're buying a motorhome, look for someone who lists motorhome work, like the five here who do. If it's a trailer or fifth wheel, roof and leak checks are your priority. Three inspectors offer roof checks, and two of those also test for moisture. NRVIA certification comes in levels, and a Level II inspector can do more thorough testing, so ask about certification if it matters to you. Fluid analysis and generator checks are worth requesting. Prices vary, so get a quote. Mobile inspectors will come to the seller's location, which is convenient if the rig isn't roadworthy. Confirm they'll provide a written report with photos.

What should I ask before booking an inspector?
