RV inspection in California
You found the rig. Now find out what is actually wrong with it before the money moves. California has 36 RV inspectors listed here, averaging 4.2 stars, and 24 of them will come to the rig. I have paid for two pre-purchase inspections and walked away from one coach because of what the report showed. That habit saved me more than it cost. A few hours with someone who knows roofs, moisture and chassis beats a hopeful walkaround every time.

What the California list looks like
Of the 36 inspectors on this page, 24 are mobile, 8 carry NRVIA credentials and 10 advertise pre-purchase work. Those categories overlap, so read the profiles rather than counting badges. Seven mention moisture checks, which matters in a state with coastal fog and mountain snowmelt. The top-rated names include Adventure RV at 4.9 from 108 reviews, RV Revivals at 4.9 from 83, Mobile RV Repair Tech 2 You at 4.9 from 65, Unplug RV at 4.9 from 53 and El Toro RV Service at 4.7 from 215. A 5.0 from 25 reviews, like All Valley, is a smaller sample. Call two, compare how they describe the report, then book.
Mobile or a shop visit
Mobile inspectors come to the seller's driveway or storage lot, which is usually where the rig sits anyway. That is convenient, but ask what they cannot check without a lift or power. Chassis and generator work often needs both. A shop visit can be worth the drive if the coach is large or the seller is far from any inspector. Confirm travel fees before you book, since a mobile call two hours out may cost more than the inspection itself. Get the scope in writing. A written report should name every system checked, list photos of defects and separate safety issues from cosmetic ones. If an inspector will not put the scope in an email, keep calling.
Roof, moisture and the report
A roof and moisture check is the first thing I ask about. Water damage hides in ceiling panels, slide corners and the rear cap, and it rarely shows on a sunny walkaround. Seven inspectors here list moisture, and the better profiles at RV Revivals and El Toro mention roof along with the report. Ask how they test, whether with a meter, infrared or both, and whether readings go into the report. Fluid analysis on the engine and generator oil is cheap next to a rebuild, so ask if they pull samples. Generator and chassis checks belong on the list for any diesel pusher. Never use the seller's inspector, even a friendly one. You want someone whose only customer is you.

Questions people ask
How many RV inspectors are listed in California?
There are 36 inspectors on this page, with an average rating of 4.2 stars. Of those, 24 are mobile and will come to the rig, 8 hold NRVIA credentials and 10 advertise pre-purchase inspections. Some fall into more than one group, so read the profile to see what each one actually offers.
How many inspectors check for moisture?
Seven of the 36 list moisture checks. That is a small share, so ask directly when you call. Water damage is the most expensive thing to miss on a used RV, and it rarely shows on a quick walkaround. A meter or infrared scan should be part of any serious pre-purchase inspection.
Should I use a mobile inspector or a shop?
Mobile inspectors are convenient because most rigs sit in storage or a driveway. Ask what they cannot check without a lift or shore power, since chassis and generator work may need both. A shop visit can be worth the drive for a large coach. Confirm travel fees and the scope in writing before you book either.
When should I schedule the inspection?
Before any deposit becomes nonrefundable. Put in the contract that you can walk away if the report finds major problems. Ask how soon the written report will arrive and whether the inspector will explain it by phone. Then book early, because the better inspectors fill their calendars.
