Most inspectors here are NRVIA certified, which means they follow a standard of practice and provide a written report. Beasley Inspection Services (4.4 stars) covers roof and moisture checks, and moisture is the big one in this heat. Gomez CARB Clean Truck Check (4.9 stars) handles chassis and mobile service. Will's Diesel Truck Repair (4.0 stars) and Camping World RV Service (3.0 stars) also do mobile work. Ratings vary, so ask for a sample report and confirm they check the roof, seams, and fluids. A good inspector will also test the generator under load and scan for error codes. I always ask if they use a moisture meter and thermal camera. Those two tools found the soft spot in the fifth wheel I almost bought.
Three of the six listings specialize in pre-purchase inspections, which is what you want before you hand over a deposit. Never use the seller's inspector, even if the seller offers to pay. Schedule the inspection before the deposit is final and attend if you can. The report should include photos, moisture readings, and a list of defects with severity. On one rig, the inspector found a delaminated roof and a generator that failed under load. That report saved me from a repair bill I did not need. On another, the chassis checked out but the house batteries were shot. Neither issue was obvious from a walkthrough. Expect the inspection to take a few hours for a motorhome and less for a trailer.
Four providers offer mobile inspections, which means they come to you or the seller's location. That is handy if the RV is stored at a lot or you are buying from a private party. Gomez CARB Clean Truck Check has the highest rating at 4.9 from 36 reviews, and they focus on mobile and chassis work. Camping World RV Service offers mobile service with roof and generator checks but has a 3.0 rating from 4 reviews. Onsite Mobile Semi RV Repair (3.1 stars) and AnyTime Truck & Trailer Repair (3.0 stars) round out the mobile options. If you need a pre-purchase inspection, Beasley and Onsite Mobile Semi RV Repair both list that service. Ask about turnaround time and whether they provide a written report within a day or two.
