RV Roof Inspection in California
A roof leak can ruin a good deal fast. I paid for two pre-purchase inspections and walked away from one rig because the report showed soft spots and active moisture in the ceiling. California has six RV roof inspectors listed here, and their average rating is 4.3. Three of them check for moisture. If you are about to hand over money for a new or used rig, get the roof looked at first.

What a roof inspection covers
A proper roof check goes beyond a quick glance from the ladder. The inspector should walk the roof, probe seals and lap seams, and use a moisture meter inside and out. Three of the six inspectors here list moisture checks, which matters because water often travels before it shows. Ask for photos of any suspect area and a written report you can keep. If the seller balks at a roof inspection, that tells you something. I walked away from a rig with a report that showed moisture readings three times higher than the dry areas, and the seller had called the roof fine.

Leale's RV (4.5 stars, 102 reviews) covers motorhome and roof checks. RV Fun Center (4.7 stars, 15 reviews) is mobile and does roof, moisture, generator and chassis work.

Before you pay for the rig
Schedule the inspection before your deposit becomes final, and never use the seller's inspector. A pre-purchase roof check should include a written report with moisture readings, photos of seams and seals, and notes on any repairs needed. Fluid analysis and generator checks are worth adding on a motorhome, but the roof is where water damage hides. If the report shows active leaks or soft decking, you can renegotiate or walk. I have done both. The six inspectors here average 4.3 stars, so read the reviews and ask what their report includes before you book.

Questions people ask
How many RV roof inspectors are in California?
There are six RV roof inspectors listed in California. Their average rating is 4.3, and three of them check for moisture.
Do any California roof inspectors travel to the rig?
Yes, two of the six are mobile inspectors, so they can come to where the RV is stored or parked. That helps if you cannot move the rig before the sale.
What should a roof inspection report include?
Look for moisture meter readings, photos of seams and seals, and notes on any soft spots or prior repairs. A written report you can keep is standard. Ask before you book so there are no surprises.
Should I use the seller's inspector for a roof check?
No. Hire your own inspector, ideally one with pre-purchase experience. Three of the six here list pre-purchase work. An independent report protects your deposit and gives you room to renegotiate or walk away.
