Trust Is Everything — Why You Should Never Rely Only on an RV Dealer’s Word

Trust Is Everything — Especially When You’re Buying an RV

RV dealers often say, “Everything looks good!”
But as someone who inspects RVs from dealerships every single week, I can tell you—the truth is often very different.

Buying an RV is one of the biggest purchases most families make outside of buying a home. That means you deserve to know exactly what you’re paying for. Unfortunately, dealerships aren’t always required to show you every detail or every problem.

That’s where a certified, unbiased RV inspector comes in.


What I Find Every Week in Dealer “Ready to Sell” RVs

When people hear what I regularly uncover, they’re shocked. On the surface, an RV might look shiny and clean. But underneath, I often find:

🛑 1. Hidden Water Damage

Water damage is one of the most expensive repairs you can face. Dealers sometimes patch it, paint over it, or simply don’t notice it. I check seals, roof, frames, flooring, and walls—because water always leaves a trail.

🛑 2. Propane Leaks

Propane issues are serious safety hazards. Yet I find leaks regularly in both new and used RVs coming from dealers. An inspection ensures your RV is safe for your family from day one.

🛑 3. Unsafe Tires

Just because a tire “looks good” does not mean it is good. I often find tire dates that are 5–8 years old, dry rot, or mismatched sets. This puts buyers at risk for blowouts and costly roadside breakdowns.

🛑 4. Electrical Problems

Loose wires, overloaded circuits, and improperly repaired components are common. Electrical issues can destroy appliances or create fire hazards. I test each system professionally and thoroughly.

🛑 5. Appliances That Don’t Actually Work

Dealers may say everything “was working yesterday,” but that doesn’t help you today. I verify refrigerators, ACs, water heaters, furnaces, microwaves, and more so you’re not stuck with a broken RV on day one.


Why an Independent RV Inspector Matters

When you hire me, I work only for you—not the seller.

A dealership’s goal is to sell the RV.
My goal is to protect your investment.

With a certified inspection, you get:

  • A complete, unbiased report

  • High-quality photos and videos

  • Full system testing

  • Repair recommendations

  • Negotiation power

  • Peace of mind

An inspection can save you hundreds—even thousands—before you sign a contract.


Don’t Gamble on Your RV Purchase

RV shopping should be exciting, not stressful. An inspection gives you:

✔ Confidence

✔ Clarity

✔ A safe RV for your family

✔ The truth about what you’re buying

Before you trust a dealership’s word, hire someone who’s trained to find what others miss.
