A1 RV Repair
Mobile RV repair and inspection in Austin, TX, rated 5.0 on Google, working on roofs, generators and pre-purchase checks.
Austin has two RV propane inspectors listed here, and both of them are mobile. That matters more than it sounds. A propane check is one of the few inspection items that can be done where the rig sits, so you are not necessarily paying to move a motorhome across town. The average rating across the listings is 4.0, based on a thin set of reviews, so read the individual entries rather than the headline number. A1 RV Repair appears twice with different ratings.

Mobile RV repair in Georgetown, TX, handling pre-purchase inspections, roof leaks, and leveling systems at your location.
The two listed inspectors both handle leak detection and mold, and both offer pre-purchase work on motorhomes, which is the combination you want if the rig is new to you. A proper propane check means a pressure drop test on the system, a look at the regulator, hoses, fittings and appliance connections, and a sniff around the tank compartment. Ask for the leak-down result in writing, not just a verbal all clear. The two entries here also list roof and moisture work, which is useful because a propane smell and a water intrusion often get investigated in the same visit. Neither listing shows NRVIA certification, so ask directly what credential the inspector holds and what level it is.
You want the inspection scheduled while you can still walk away with your money. Both Austin inspectors are mobile, so the logistics are simple: the rig stays put and the inspector comes to it. Do not let the seller arrange the inspection or recommend the inspector, even if they seem helpful. On my second pre-purchase check the report flagged a slow pressure loss at a fitting the seller had shrugged off, and that was enough for me to renegotiate rather than walk. Get the report in writing with photos, the test readings and a plain list of what needs fixing. Vague notes are not a report.
A written report from a propane inspection should name each appliance tested, give the pressure drop reading and the time window, and note any hose or fitting that failed. It should also flag anything the inspector could not test and why. Since both Austin listings mention moisture and leak work, ask whether the report includes any moisture readings taken during the same visit, and get those numbers too. Ratings here rest on very few reviews, one entry with a single review at 5.0 and another at 3.0 from two, so call and ask how long they have been doing propane work in the area before you book.
Two are listed on this page, and both are mobile inspectors who come to the rig. The average rating across the listings is 4.0. Review counts are low, so treat the scores as a starting point and ask each inspector about their experience and credentials before you schedule.
Yes. Both listings cover pre-purchase inspections, motorhome work, leak detection and mold, along with propane. Both also list roof, moisture and generator features. That means one visit can cover the propane system and a moisture check on the same rig, which saves you a second appointment.
No. Choose your own inspector and pay them yourself, so the report is working for you. Schedule the inspection before your deposit becomes final, and read the written findings before you commit. A pressure drop test result in writing is worth more than a verbal assurance from anyone with a stake in the sale.
Ask what certification the inspector holds and at what level, since neither Austin listing shows NRVIA certification. Ask whether the report includes pressure drop readings, appliance by appliance results and photos. Confirm the mobile visit covers your rig's location, and ask how soon after the inspection you will receive the written report.
