RV inspection in Tennessee

Tennessee buyers often face a long drive to inspect a rig themselves. With 10 RV inspectors listed across the state and an average rating of 4.4, you have options. Eight are mobile, meaning they come to the seller's location. I've paid for two pre-purchase inspections and walked away from one rig because the report showed moisture damage the seller never mentioned. That's the kind of thing you want to know before you hand over money.

What a pre-purchase inspection covers

A proper inspection goes beyond a walkaround. The inspector should check the roof, look for moisture intrusion, test all systems including the generator, and examine the chassis. Ask for a written report with photos. In Tennessee, some inspectors are NRVIA certified, which means they've completed training on RV systems and inspection standards. The NRVIA offers two levels: Certified Inspector and Master Certified Inspector. For a used rig, either level can do the job, but a master certified inspector has more experience. Make sure the inspector is working for you, not the seller. Never use the seller's inspector, even if they offer to split the cost.

Mobile inspectors in Tennessee

Most inspectors listed here are mobile, so they travel to the RV's location. That's convenient if the rig is at a dealership or private seller's driveway. Mobile inspectors bring their tools and can perform the inspection on-site. Some also offer fluid analysis, which can reveal engine or transmission issues. If you're buying a diesel pusher, ask if they check the chassis and engine components. A few inspectors specialize in roof and moisture checks, which are critical in Tennessee's humid climate. Moisture damage can be expensive to fix, so it's worth having a specialist look at the roof and seals.
