RV inspection in Virginia
Buying an RV in Virginia means you're probably towing it over the Blue Ridge or down to the coast. I've paid for two pre-purchase inspections and walked away from one rig because of what the report found. That's why I take this seriously. Here are eight inspectors across the state who can check yours before you hand over the money.

What a Virginia inspection covers
A proper pre-purchase inspection is more than a walkaround. The inspector should check the roof and seams, look for moisture intrusion, test every appliance and system, run the generator under load, and examine the chassis and brakes. Ask for a written report with photos. In Virginia, several inspectors offer mobile service, coming to the seller's location. Two of the eight listed here specialize in pre-purchase work, and one is NRVIA certified. That certification matters because it requires training and adherence to a standards of practice. If the report flags water damage or a failing slide, you can renegotiate or walk away. I did, and it saved me thousands.

How to schedule and what to ask
Call at least a week before you need the inspection, especially if the rig is in a popular area like Manassas or Roanoke. Ask what the report includes: photos, moisture readings, generator hours, and fluid analysis if offered. Confirm the inspector will not accept compensation from the seller, and never use the seller's inspector. The best time is before you pay a deposit in full, so you can walk away if the report is bad. I walked away from one rig because the moisture meter lit up around the rear window. That inspection cost me a few hundred dollars; the repair would have been thousands. Virginia's humidity makes moisture checks essential, so prioritize inspectors who list that feature.

Mobile inspectors come to the seller's location, which is convenient if the RV isn't roadworthy or you're buying remotely. Seven of the eight Virginia inspectors offer mobile service.
