Used Class A Gas Motorhome Inspection
"The inspection service that Rob provided was invaluable. He was thorough during the scheduling process, making sure I was aware of exactly what to expect. He was professional and personable throughout. The entire inspection took all of eight hours and I can't imagine there was one part of the RV we were buying that he didn't cover. As he went about the inspection, he called to my attention any issues he encountered, from the very serious to the minor. Right off, I was extremnely grateful that he discovered a serious propane tank leak. I opted for the fluid analysis and glad that I did, even if I didn't completely understand the details of the report, I knew enough to know there were issues with the engine and generator oil that I can address with the seller. Rob cares about the job he's doing and the best interest of the buyer is his priority."

"Rob is fantastic! This is our first RV purchase and his detailed inspection saved us a couple times since we are still learning what to look for. He was responsive, helpful, informative, and quite willing to answer any and all questions I had. The report delivered is extremely helpful and helped me to learn what things I should be looking at when making a purchase. Thank you for all you help Rob!"

"If there were 10 stars, I would not hesitate in giving a 10/10 review! I have never bought a camper before so I wanted to make sure I was making a smart buy for a used camper. I never thought I'd be so impressed! Rob was the inspector and the report was over 100 pages long including every single detail he could find. Every single detail is no exaggeration! Beyond the extremely organized report Rob took the time to include a table of contents with the most important life hazards up top in red. Not to mention the great attention to detail in the photos! They were not just basic photos they had specific arrows pointing to exactly what he was talking about with a text input to describe what was on there. And I forgot to mention this report was given the same day the inspection was done it cannot get better than that! Rob even called after the report to ask if I had any questions and when I asked for advice he gave me everything I needed to make sure I was making the right buy. Rob is highly highly recommended do not hesitate for his service. Thanks again Rob!"

"We ordered a new toy hauler thru a local dealer and wanted to do our own PDI. I asked the dealer to recommend an inspector and they told me to find my own and they would let me know if we made a good choice. After some research I was told Rob was excellent. This unit had 2 PDI's prior to getting to my dealership, and through Rob's extensive inspection he found a short list of items that need immediate repair prior to delivery. I would recommend Professional RV Inspections, for any new or used purchase."

He is extremely thourough, fact oriented and tells it to you straight. He has the respect of my delaership because of the quality of his work. We have an extended service contract with America's RV Warranty, a top rated service warranty company. Upon submitting Rob's report, America's RV Warranty waived the 30 day coverage wait period. If you are seious about a real purchase of a towable or a motorhome, Rob must be your first call. The peace of mind and knowledge gained by the report is invaluable. Greg G"

His report is 75 pages plus, he loves pictures and the information in the report is invaluable. I was able to join him for the last couple hours of the inpection. He is an honorable man, stand up and dedicated to his clients and his craft. Your first call is to him. If your dealer does not welcome inspections, then move on quickly.

"We decided to purchase a smaller RV and started shopping for it. After doing research, the lowest price point we could find was in Indiana. We live in PA, and I wasn't comfortable with the idea of picking up our RV and bringing it home sight unseen. During our research, we discovered that we could have the RV inspected by a third party. That gave me a much better comfort level. We contacted Robert, and I was very impressed with his professionalism over the phone, as well as his credentials and reviews. Robert conducted his inspection within days of our contact and generated a thorough report of 54 pages, citing safety codes where needed, including photos, and going over the entire RV. I had my report that evening! The service that Robert provided was worth every penny and gave me the confidence that I needed to make my purchase."

"We can not say enough about the customer service we received. He inspected the motorhome prepurchase at the dealership the day before we were scheduled to close on the unit. Needless to say time was short and did not expect to receive the report before the signing and delivery. Much to our surprise he delivered it at 1:00 am!! Consequently, we had no question about the condition of the unit we were purchasing. The report was very through and found things we had missed. We will absolutely use him in the future and highly recommend him to anyone thinking of purchasing an RV."

"I hired Rob to inspect a travel trailer several hours from my home. I highly recommend his service for anyone looking for an inspection. His communication throughout the process was perfect and after the inspection and report were finished followed up with anything that might need clarification. My inspection report was 133 pages. It is very detailed. He found several issues which the owner I was purchasing from took to the dealer to have fixed. I would never buy an RV without an inspection. Hiring the right inspector is also important and Rob is a very competent inspector. I chose him because of all his positive reviews and speaking to him prior to hiring him found him to be very knowledgeable."

New Travel Trailer Inspection
"Very happy with the inspection done by Rob! We were purchasing a brand new unit several hundred miles from our home and taking it on the road immediately headed south. We had Rob inspect the unit prior to taking delivery and he found several critical items that an untrained eye would likely have missed and would have impacted us within the first few days (and hundreds of miles away from the dealership). Having a professional look over and test ALL of the systems (electrical, water, mechanical, OEM, etc) was a no-brainer for us and paid off in the end by avoiding what could have been catastrophic delays. If you are on the fence about using Pro RVI to help ensure you spend your time enjoying your new purchase and not dealing with issues, just do it! What is several hours of your time, potential days of delays, and frustration worth to you? It's a small price to pay for having a highly detailed report of the exact issues to leverage with the dealer."

His communication was prompt and just the right level, not overburdening at all, but never not there when you need it. Then he did a wonderful job detailing everything with the RV and then taking time on the phone to go over the life safety and major issues in depth, which are included in his very thorough report. Once you have all the information, he'll help you understand it. Working with Rob and Professional RV Inspections was a great experience, and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering purchasing a used or new RV."

"Rob of Professional RV Inspections is the best! He recently performed a pre-purchase inspection on a new Thor Omni for us, and we cannot thank him enough. His report was detailed, thorough, well-organized and readable, and best of all, it was sent to us within hours of the completion of the inspection. While there were no major issues with the RV, there were enough smaller ones that together they could have turned into something major over time, costing us multiple times the cost of the inspection (which, by the way, we thought was very reasonable). Finally, Rob conducted himself in an exemplary fashion during the inspection, so much so that the dealer mentioned it to us during our pre-delivery walk-thru. We have no reservations at all about recommending Rob to anyone requiring an RV inspection."

Rob‘s inspection showed the reality of the quality level for these RVs (which you should know is low, no matter what you buy), and specifically on our unit found major issues that would’ve been absolutely devastating for us to have to repair on our own or under warranty. We are convinced that Rob’s inspection — as well as a showing personally to inspect our RV (with the dealer) — made the difference. we are very happy with the outcome, and will use Rob's services again in the future!"

"My wife and I recently utilized Rob's services as we were upgrading from a pop up to a brand new 2024 travel trailer. Even though it was brand new, Rob was able to identify multiple issues that needed to be addressed by the dealer before moving forward with the purchase. Rob's spent 6 hours inspecting the unit and his service also included an extremely detailed 76 page report. The report includes multiple pictures, explanations, suggestions and is very informative. I printed off the entire report and plan to keep it as a reference to look back to.
We were able to present Rob's detailed report to the dealer and they agreed to fix all issues that we would not have as easily identified had we not used Rob's services. My advice to anyone thinking about hiring Rob, just do it. He is prompt, professional, knowledgeable and his attention to detail is second to none. The best way to protect your investment is to know exactly what you are getting beforehand. It will save you a ton of headache and money down the road.
Rob, we appreciate you and plan on hiring you again if we ever decide to upgrade."

"Rob is a true professional that delivers a much needed service at a reasonable rate. He was responsive to our scheduling request and helped us understand the entire process. We setup an initial meeting location that had to be changed the day before because of some uncooperative folks. Rob had no problem with switching to the new location. He arrived on time and completed a comprehensive inspection that took a little over 8 hours. We had our 96 page report less than 24 hours later! The report is presented with life safety issues at the top followed by major then minor issues. Life safety issues have not only pictures but also cite the actual code that is in violation along with the section of the code! The report also provides results by area or system. The RV Rob inspected is our 6th unit and we will NEVER buy another RV without having his inspection report in hand so all issues are resolved before we take possession.

"I wanted you let you know how everything worked out with (selling dealer).
They scheduled me for a late appointment to show me the RV and sign. They seemed surprised that I brought your inspection report and told them I would be going through every fault you found. About 30 minutes later one of them came over and told me the shop crew will be leaving soon and I needed to be finished. I told him I'll be finished when I complete my verification that all faults have been resolved. They left me alone and someone came over to help me with a mechanic.
The only things they fixed before I arrived was the kitchen faucet, tiny holes in the underbelly, screws in the side skirt and the fire extinguisher strap. I made sure they finished fixing everything else. As for the weld in the front, I contacted (the manufacturer) before I arrived and sent them a picture of the weld. They called me back and said it does need to be re-welded. I showed the shop manager after he told me they were not going to fix it. He changed his mind and the weld has been re-done.
Thank you for your help."

"We are so glad we had this inspection done, as Rob found multiple issues with the rig even though it had less than 1,000 miles on it. The dealership went from saying “Don’t waste your money, we’ve already inspected it.” to “It’s a good thing you had that inspection done.” The dealership fixed about a dozen issues ranging from major to minor, all under warranty. We used the report as a checklist to make certain everything was addressed before we drove it off the lot,
Rob was extremely professional, with easy communication, and quality detailed work. His expertise certainly saved us more than the cost of the inspection."

"Thanks again for the inspection you did on our TT. We did purchase our 2022 Sunset Trail 253rb. We’ve been on 3 trips and were hoping for one more before closing for the season, but unfortunately, it looks like we’ll have to wait until next season.
The info found in our report didn’t stop us from purchasing our TT, but it helped us to have the dealer repair the items before we purchased or took it home.
The report was very useful and was definitely worth the investment! We were skeptical at first for a new rv but VERY glad we made the investment. We continue to recommend a certified inspector in our groups for both new and used RVs.
Unfortunately, the dealer wasn’t willing to change prices but they complete all of the work - thanks to the thorough report that we did share with the dealer.

"I recommend Rob. He is professional, thorough, knowledgeable and worth every penny. My family looked at a 2013 Fifth Wheel but ultimately decided not to purchase it. However, we were armed with a comprehensive report that found items as inconspicuous but significant as a propane leak as well as minor issues like a crack in the refrigerator crisper tray ....and EVERYTHING in between! We used the report to consult with an RV repairman on potential repair costs. Had we moved forward with the purchase, the report would have been a very useful negotiation tool. I believe Rob's work kept us from spending $20K on a unit and $15K+ on repairs undisclosed and possibly unknown to the dealer. I recommend Rob and will use him again on our next find."

"If, like me, you are buying an RV for the first time, it may come as a shock how low a priority quality control appears to be in the RV industry. You cannot compare this to buying a car or even a house. You might have to lower your expectations big time, and even if you buy from a manufacturer known for better quality, you will still want to make sure you're getting what you paid for. Trust but verify, right? If you live in the Chicago area, consider yourself very lucky and look no further. Rob Wilhelm did such a thorough, detail-oriented inspection on my brand new teardrop trailer, I was really glad to be there to witness it. I was trying to stay out of his way as he worked but I kept asking questions, all of which he answered, and I learned a lot just from looking over his shoulder as he tested the various systems on my new trailer. The following morning I received a very detailed, 50-page report which included super helpful photos and descriptions of all his findings. I passed this on to my dealer who promised to have every issue corrected prior to the delivery date next week. Rob is worth every penny and more. I just hope when I'm ready to trade up someday, it'll be before he has decided to retire."

I’m very glad that I got the inspection to avoid the RV breaking down in the middle of a desert somewhere. I’m still in the market, but unless I see an amazing deal pop up, I will probably hold off on a purchase until November/December of this year. I will absolutely be in touch when I find another RV worth pursuing."

(Extremely happy as it pushed the dealer to fix all items and not having to schedule a service appointment post purchase). Rob's work is top quality and he is extremely easy to deal with."

"I cannot say enough about Professional RV Inspections. I have owned travel trailers and 5th wheels for many years, but I am newbie to the Class A arena. My wife and I put a deposit on a used Diesel Pusher. I live in Michigan and Rob came from Illinois to conduct the inspection. Rob is very knowledgeable about RV’s. He took time to answer all my questions. Although we never met in person, I feel like Rob is a friend, because he took the time to care about our RV purchase. Rob is a detailed and organized professional. His inspection report and fluid analysis was a huge part of our purchase decision. Rob did an excellent job for us. We would highly recommend Rob for a RV Inspections and we will definitely use his services again on any future purchases."

"I purchased the RV. The inspection report was detailed, organized, and the fluid analysis was a huge part of our purchase decision. The information was very useful, and definitely, worth the investment. I was able to negotiate repairs which was great for me. One of the slide outs had wood rot in the floor and the dealer replaced the entire floor, repaired torn slide toppers, replaced all smoke, CO2, and LP detectors. The dealer did not replace the batteries as they initially stated, but they rejuvenated the batteries, so they can hold a charge. The dealer replaced the oil gasket seal and changed the oil. They changed the transmission fluid at my cost of $300.00. (assuming that price was reasonable). I was not able to negotiate price, but the inspection was well worth it for our purchase decision. I gave the dealer a copy of the report, and they indicated it was very detailed. I would highly recommend Rob for a RV Inspections and I will definitely use his services again on any future purchases. Pro RVI is definitely 5 stars."

"We did not purchase the RV you inspected. It was pretty worn inside and out though operationally for the most part, it worked…. we used your very thorough findings to negotiate but the seller wasn't willing to come down enough on price. I'm glad we didn't buy it. He was willing to come down $3000 from his price. According to your findings, there were at least $7000 - $8000 in repairs and it would still have looked beat up.
I wish we would have used you for the one we purchased. It was same make and model, in much better shape than the 1st one, but we would have avoided some of the surprises. We did get a better price on the 2nd RV, not sure the owner would have been willing to reduce his price any further, regardless of whether we had an inspection or not, but at least we would have known the issues upfront…we'll definitely use you again, if we buy another RV…5 plus!!"

"My positive experience with Rob Wilhelm of Professional RV Inspections, LLC was nothing short of amazing. Rob's very thorough inspection revealed numerous significant issues with an RV that looked nice from very little use that would have caused me many thousands of dollars in structural repairs and perhaps worse, due to water intrusion i did not see in my own inspection of the RV. Had this RV not been thoroughly inspected by someone with a knowledgeable eye as Mr. Wilhelm, my family may have been impacted by god-knows-what-complication from a cracked outside wall panel, and numerous water intrusion spots that I believe not only resulted in wall "delamination" I did not notice, but I think possible other things from water damage that can occur such as electrical and structural issues as well down the road. I have never purchased an RV before, and so I need to rely on someone who can tell me the truth about an RV's condition. While I was disappointed that the RV I thought would be "the diamond in the rough" was not what I had hoped it would be, I am glad I know now that it is not, so I can go find another one that will let my family and I be happy campers with for years to come."

Though some say you don't need an independent inspection when buying new. I am so glad we chose Rob's services. His report was extensive and included photos. Nothing was assumed to work because it was new - everything was checked. And he will find the smallest of flaws or issues that the dealer doesn't have the time or the inclination to find, especially with these vehicles flying out of the dealership. Armed with his report we were prepared for the dealership walk thru. In short - money well spent even on a brand new vehicle. And if you are buying used, you'd be foolish not to use his services."

"This by far was the best money spent on our new motor home. Since we purchased new, our vehicle is still under warranty and we wanted to make sure everything checked out. We purposely waited to do this until after we've had a handful of trips to see how things held up and to also figure out what might need to be fixed while still under warranty. Rob was so helpful, from our initial communication through completion of inspection, he is very prompt and thorough. Also, the report that we received as a result of the inspection was very similar to that of a home inspection, there were a lot of pictures and detailed references to things that he found. he also took the time to explain safety stuff and pointed out things in the report for our own reference about the RV. There are lots of opportunities to consider when to use Rob, in addition to doing what we did, you can also use him prior to you purchasing and if buying used, I would definitely recommend doing something like this. Additionally, Rob also has repeat customers who do annual safety checks prior to the season starting or at the end of the season to see what maintenance work might need to be done during the down time. I honestly recommend this for everyone whether you are buying new or used. I am so happy that our new RV will have the opportunity to have a handful of minor items addressed while still under warranty as these are things we never would have caught."

We thought it was well worth the money for the piece of mind it provided us. We decided against getting the RV based on the inspection and numerous fixes and water damage. Had we not gotten the inspection we would have bought a lemon and been out tens of thousands of dollars and had started our first purchase off on a bad foot.

Unfortunately, we live in Phoenix, so decided that it would be best to send an inspector to take a look before we committed fully.

He followed up with a VERY thorough report- which was given to the dealer as well. By the time we traveled up to pick up the new rig, everything indicated was repaired or replaced, so we were ready to hit the road.

"I'm new to RV'ing, and spending a few hundred dollars for access to Rob's expertise was so worth it. A coach I was seriously looking at had had some pretty significant water intrusion issues sometime in its past. Rob zeroed in on that and, while he didn't say "I wouldn't buy this if I were you," he clearly demonstrated to me the extent of the damage, and gave me a feel for what else might be implied by the evidence of neglect. Just as importantly, the problem with this particular coach became a "teachable moment", and it impressed on me the importance of relentlessly paying attention to potential leak sites on the coach I eventually will find. Kind of a no-brainer, I know, but somehow a face-to-face session with an expert makes a profoundly lasting impression, and it will likely save me far more money in the long run than the price of Rob's service."

"We are so happy we chose a professional RV inspection prior to purchasing a late model used class A motorhome from a private seller. While the seller was very forthcoming with minor known issues with the RV, Rob identified multiple other significant issues that the seller did not know about. This led to a renegotiation of price, which ultimately covered the cost of the inspection (with travel fees), and then some. We hope to keep our "new to us" RV for a long time, but if we ever get another unit, we will call Rob before the purchase. He is very detail oriented, organized, and worked with both us and the seller to get the inspection done quickly."

"We used Robert to check out a used RV we wanted to purchase. From the beginning he was professional and prompt with his communications. As first time buyers, we were clueless how the process would work and even how to approach dealers with wanting an inspection. (Although we ended up purchasing from a private seller, I first contacted Rob about an RV we were considering at a dealership.) Rob helped with all of this and proceeded to do an extensive inspection on the RV, uncovering some items we never would have noticed ourselves. Ultimately we concluded our RV was in acceptable shape for its age and nothing uncovered made us want to walk away from the sale. The inspection was still worth it for peace of mind, and also when we viewed the RV ourselves we felt confident not having to look at every single thing, pull slides out, get on the roof etc. etc. It made for a much better buying experience. Also the detailed inspection will serve as a good "to-do" list for my husband for the next year or so just for what he needs to fix before we use it and keep an eye on. Thanks, Robert!"

"Great Service. Rob Wilhelm spent a day & a half checking a Used 2007 Holiday Rambler. Due to his reports, 104 Pages, I was able to get the dealer to replace everything that was a major issue. New 22.5 inch tires, fix cracked sealant around all of the roof, vents etc. on the motor home. There were a lot of other minor issues that were also fixed. It was expensive at first, but when you think of the benefits it is well worth the cost."

"Hi Rob. Your score is 5. We greatly appreciated the detailed report that you sent us. The fluid reports were reassuring... We forwarded your report to broker and seller. We then forwarded to close-by dealership for repair estimate. Minimal cost (without dealership inspecting the RV) was $3000. The owner agreed to pay this fee. We anticipated the real cost to be much higher. Since we are on the Gulf and the RV in MI, we decided not to purchase. We would not be able to oversee repair. Thank you for your assistance and we did rely on your detailed report. I loved that RV, but now looking for Tiffin as we were doing before seeing this RV."

"A big thanks to Rob Wilhelm at Professional RV Inspections for his thorough survey and analysis of our new travel trailer. As first time travel trailer buyers Rob was very patient and informative through the whole process. His knowledge, professionalism and expertise helped us make an informed decision which helped ease our stress during the buying process. His inspection found items not discovered by the dealers PDI (pre delivery inspection). He advised which appropriate action should be taken to remedy the issues to insure our new travel trailer was fit for travel. Rob was heavily focused on safety items as they pertained to the travel trailer which is great but it did not undermine his attention to detail on all the other facets of the travel trailer. Anybody looking to buy a new or used RV would be well served in retaining the services of Professional RV Inspections. It's a small price to pay for great service and piece of mind."

"I recently bought my first RV. After research online, the rig I wanted was a 3 year old model in Wisconsin and I live in Texas. Although the dealership offered a free 90-day house warranty, I knew going back to the dealership with issues wouldn't be an option. I wanted to make sure my RV was in good working order and safe before I took it home. I negotiated a contract with the dealership to purchase my rig contingent on the outcome of an inspection to be completed by Rob Wilhelm of Professional RV Inspections. My salesman was insistent Rob would find nothing wrong. However both he and I were impressed with the comprehensiveness of Rob's inspection. Thankfully there were no issues that weren't easily fixable by the dealership; they had just missed them. Rob had not. I am happy to say I made a 1700 mile trip to my home from the dealership and was completely safe and satisfied".

Let me tell you I never expected to receive such a complete and thorough report as the one that ProRVI did for me (125 pages) with pictures. I even called Rob multiple times to review different issues that were pointed out in the report. This was money well worth spending, if I had believed the owner and taken his word on various issues I would had to spend upwards to an additional 10.0k on repairs. If you want to protect your investment don't be afraid to spend the money on the best inspection you could ever get. Thank you so much."

I responded by saying I wouldn’t have spent (money) on the inspection if I didn’t want to buy it. Yes, I did send him a copy of the report and it was the best thing I could have done, he had the facts in front of him which made the facts hard to dispute...I would rate your work and phone assistance not a 5 but a 10 plus!!!

"My wife and I never owned an RV, so when we started shopping for a travel trailer we got a little nervous reading online about quality issues with many new RV's. Our main concern is about safety, but also wanted to make sure everything in the travel trailer was working right. To ease our mind we decided we would have our new RV inspected before final sale (this was written into the contract). We searched online for RV inspectors and saw that Rob from Pro RVI had a good reputation. Rob inspected our new RV right at Camping World (Wauconda, IL) and gave us a well detailed report with many photos. Rob found a number of issues with the RV: cracked roof-top sealant, small leak under the shower, ripped electrical loom under the slide, and some other small items. So, not only were we reassured there were not any major issues with the RV, Camping World fixed all the issues Pro RVI found during their inspection. In addition to the detailed report, Rob was very patient in answering all of our questions, which us as new RV owners had many. He is very knowledgable on all things RV and is willing to share that knowledge. Lastly, he was very responsive through out the process. My wife and I are excited about our future travel plans and feel good knowing that our RV is safe and ready for the road!"

"I was looking around for a Class B Rv to purchase and found a Roadtrek in Illinois for sale. I live in Maryland so I wanted a mechanic to go check it out before I bought it so I randomly called a auto repair shop in Illinois and they gave me the name Rob Wilhelm. I didn't know he was a level 2 certified RV inspector. I called Rob and told him about the RV and where it was located. He spoke with me at length about RV's. He answered all of my questions and addressed my concerns. Mr. Wilhelm has a wealth of knowledge of all things RV related. I'm new to this so I had a lot of questions and he answered all of them. He did the inspection on the RV and gave me a 92 pg report with pictures detailing everything. Additionally I opted to buy the fluid analysis to ascertain the condition of the transmission, engine, generator and cooling systems. I also got the detailed fluid analysis from the lab in a timely fashion explaining every finding and what it meant on the graph.I can't say enough about Mr. Wilhelm. He's knowledgeable, patient, honest and great to talk with. His professionalism is excellent. He emailed, called etc exactly when he said he would. He never left me hanging and would always return emails and calls promptly. This was a very pleasant experience! I recommend Pro RVI for any inspections you may have in this area or beyond. Thanks again Mr. Wilhelm. You were a blessing!"

"Hi Bob
Actually i just got off the phone with (selling dealer) in regards to the Renegade RV. I have spent the last two days since getting your reports trying to decipher and make decisions on the unit. Since (selling dealer) has taken the attitude that there are no issues with this coach of any kind and it was ridiculous on my part to have the inspection done. I have asked them to send me my down payment back. They insist that no one ever does fluid analysis on units like this. The two main points of contention for me were that the generator needs extensive rework and then retesting to determine its true condition. Also the water damage to the back of the rear slide area was a concern also. My main point of contention though ended up being the results of the cooling test (coolant analysis) for the Detroit diesel engine. After speaking with a diesel mechanic and then a sales person involved in the purchase of used trucks both advised me to walk away from this purchase and that is what I have decided to do. (Selling dealer) was not willing to negotiate any discounts and insisted this RV was in perfect condition and needed no additional work. I did share the reports with seller at his request. I would rate your service at a 5....I will definitely have the next RV I decide I may want to purchase inspected as I feel that it provides great information I may have overlooked in my inspection. Thank you for all of your help."

"This is my first RV purchase and going into it I felt very uninformed on the mechanical and cosmetic condition of the RV. I have been monitoring prices online for several years, but was always hesitant to take the plunge especially since most RVs I'm interested in are a long ways away from Seattle. When I found the Phillips RV listing, I knew another RV at this price wouldn't come around again. After engaging with the sales person, I started researching RV inspectors. I was skeptical of "Professional RV Inspection", wondering who these people are given that I wouldn't be able to interview my inspector in-person. I found Pro RVI and several other inspectors on NRVIA's website. Pro RVI has a nice website, solid reviews on social media, and I had a great phone conversation with Rob leading up to the inspection. The cost of the inspection was a concern at first, but given the price of the RV it was really a minor expense and a huge piece of mind to know the complete condition of the RV. I was very excited about the RV and the issues found by the inspection helped bring me back down to Earth and refocus on negotiating the price and repairs. Ultimately the dealer made a number of repairs throughout the coach that would have cost me twice what the inspection cost. It more than paid for itself! The purchase depended entirely on the results of the inspection and the dealer's willingness to correct any issues. The fluid reports made me feel a lot better about purchasing the RV and were worth the added expense."

"Yes, I did go ahead with the purchase. The inspection did affect my decision because even though there are some minor mechanical repairs to be addressed, I felt the overall unit was worth the risk especially for the price I paid. I do feel that the inspection was worth it because of it being an older unit the report gave me an overall picture of it's condition and it gave me piece of mind with my decision to purchase. Plus it has given me a good "to do" list of things to be done to the unit. I may not have known where to start otherwise because I am so new to it. I did share the report with the dealer and they did recaulk most, if not all of the seals, they replaced the burnt out light bulbs and took it to a mechanic to check out the dash air. Unfortunately, the pump is out on the dash air and they did not fix it. I would definitely rate the whole inspection experience a 5 because it was thorough and you were very helpful and friendly. I will recommend ProRVI to others.

Rob told us initially what to look for in RV shopping. We then sent him website links and he expressed any initial concerns he had BEFORE inspecting. Then when we decided on units - he spoke to the dealers. Some dealers "don't allow" inspectors on their lot, and that too raised red flags. The unit we ended up purchasing came from a dealer that Rob had recommended. The dealership was very professional, PLUS having Rob's report and fluid analysis calmed any fears we had for our adventures around America. Rob was tireless and invaluable in his assistance to us."

"We decided to buy a 5th wheel out of state. We hired Professional (Pro RVI) for a 3rd party inspection and even paid for a re-inspect. We did not want to take any chances. Rob did a thorough inspection and completed a very comprehensive report. His communication was impeccable. Had we not hired Professional (Pro RVI), I think we would've had quite a few issues. Thank you Rob for everything you did. I highly recommend this company. -Todd & Lisa"

"We can not say enough about the customer service we received. He inspected the motorhome prepurchase at the dealership the day before we were scheduled to close on the unit. Needless to say time was short and did not expect to receive the report before the signing and delivery. Much to our surprise he delivered it at 1:00 am!! Consequently, we had no question about the condition of the unit we were purchasing. The report was very through and found things we had missed. We will absolutely use him in the future and highly recommend him to anyone thinking of purchasing an RV."

"I hired Rob to inspect a travel trailer several hours from my home. I highly recommend his service for anyone looking for an inspection. His communication throughout the process was perfect and after the inspection and report were finished followed up with anything that might need clarification. My inspection report was 133 pages. It is very detailed. He found several issues which the owner I was purchasing from took to the dealer to have fixed. I would never buy an RV without an inspection. Hiring the right inspector is also important and Rob is a very competent inspector. I chose him because of all his positive reviews and speaking to him prior to hiring him found him to be very knowledgeable."

"Very happy with the inspection done by Rob! We were purchasing a brand new unit several hundred miles from our home and taking it on the road immediately headed south. We had Rob inspect the unit prior to taking delivery and he found several critical items that an untrained eye would likely have missed and would have impacted us within the first few days (and hundreds of miles away from the dealership). Having a professional look over and test ALL of the systems (electrical, water, mechanical, OEM, etc) was a no-brainer for us and paid off in the end by avoiding what could have been catastrophic delays. If you are on the fence about using Pro RVI to help ensure you spend your time enjoying your new purchase and not dealing with issues, just do it! What is several hours of your time, potential days of delays, and frustration worth to you? It's a small price to pay for having a highly detailed report of the exact issues to leverage with the dealer."

"Professional RV Inspections says it all. Rob was professional, experienced, helpful, thorough, friendly, and knowledgeable. His communication was prompt and just the right level, not overburdening at all, but never not there when you need it. Then he did a wonderful job detailing everything with the RV and then taking time on the phone to go over the life safety and major issues in depth, which are included in his very thorough report. Once you have all the information, he'll help you understand it. Working with Rob and Professional RV Inspections was a great experience, and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering purchasing a used or new RV."

We took delivery as planned and had an uneventful drive back to NC - thankfully between weather systems for a dry/sunny drive!

"Rob of Professional RV Inspections is the best! He recently performed a pre-purchase inspection on a new Thor Omni for us, and we cannot thank him enough. His report was detailed, thorough, well-organized and readable, and best of all, it was sent to us within hours of the completion of the inspection. While there were no major issues with the RV, there were enough smaller ones that together they could have turned into something major over time, costing us multiple times the cost of the inspection (which, by the way, we thought was very reasonable). Finally, Rob conducted himself in an exemplary fashion during the inspection, so much so that the dealer mentioned it to us during our pre-delivery walk-thru. We have no reservations at all about recommending Rob to anyone requiring an RV inspection."

"We are convinced that Rob’s inspection saved us at least 10 times the amount of money it cost us, not to mention frustration and repair time. Rob‘s inspection showed the reality of the quality level for these RVs (which you should know is low, no matter what you buy), and specifically on our unit found major issues that would’ve been absolutely devastating for us to have to repair on our own or under warranty. We are convinced that Rob’s inspection — as well as a showing personally to inspect our RV (with the dealer) — made the difference. we are very happy with the outcome, and will use Rob's services again in the future!"

"My wife and I recently utilized Rob's services as we were upgrading from a pop up to a brand new 2024 travel trailer. Even though it was brand new, Rob was able to identify multiple issues that needed to be addressed by the dealer before moving forward with the purchase. Rob's spent 6 hours inspecting the unit and his service also included an extremely detailed 76 page report. The report includes multiple pictures, explanations, suggestions and is very informative. I printed off the entire report and plan to keep it as a reference to look back to.
We were able to present Rob's detailed report to the dealer and they agreed to fix all issues that we would not have as easily identified had we not used Rob's services. My advice to anyone thinking about hiring Rob, just do it. He is prompt, professional, knowledgeable and his attention to detail is second to none. The best way to protect your investment is to know exactly what you are getting beforehand. It will save you a ton of headache and money down the road.
Rob, we appreciate you and plan on hiring you again if we ever decide to upgrade."

"Rob is a true professional that delivers a much needed service at a reasonable rate. He was responsive to our scheduling request and helped us understand the entire process. We setup an initial meeting location that had to be changed the day before because of some uncooperative folks. Rob had no problem with switching to the new location. He arrived on time and completed a comprehensive inspection that took a little over 8 hours. We had our 96 page report less than 24 hours later! The report is presented with life safety issues at the top followed by major then minor issues. Life safety issues have not only pictures but also cite the actual code that is in violation along with the section of the code! The report also provides results by area or system. The RV Rob inspected is our 6th unit and we will NEVER buy another RV without having his inspection report in hand so all issues are resolved before we take possession. THANK YOU Rob for the service you provided; it was first class."

"I wanted you let you know how everything worked out with (selling dealer).
They scheduled me for a late appointment to show me the RV and sign. They seemed surprised that I brought your inspection report and told them I would be going through every fault you found. About 30 minutes later one of them came over and told me the shop crew will be leaving soon and I needed to be finished. I told him I'll be finished when I complete my verification that all faults have been resolved. They left me alone and someone came over to help me with a mechanic.
The only things they fixed before I arrived was the kitchen faucet, tiny holes in the underbelly, screws in the side skirt and the fire extinguisher strap. I made sure they finished fixing everything else. As for the weld in the front, I contacted (the manufacturer) before I arrived and sent them a picture of the weld. They called me back and said it does need to be re-welded. I showed the shop manager after he told me they were not going to fix it. He changed his mind and the weld has been re-done.
Thank you for your help."

"We are so glad we had this inspection done, as Rob found multiple issues with the rig even though it had less than 1,000 miles on it. The dealership went from saying “Don’t waste your money, we’ve already inspected it.” to “It’s a good thing you had that inspection done.” The dealership fixed about a dozen issues ranging from major to minor, all under warranty. We used the report as a checklist to make certain everything was addressed before we drove it off the lot,
Rob was extremely professional, with easy communication, and quality detailed work. His expertise certainly saved us more than the cost of the inspection."

Dealer got the idea I'm serious about buying it. THOUSANDS of dollars were saved by having the dealer do the repairs to make everything right, they did the repairs before pick up, PLUS I didn't have to wait to have the things does like most repair shops. The 120-page report is worth its weight in gold! I was given detailed pictures. Fluid analysis was a smart thing to do! Paid extra but I know exactly where my engine, transmission, engine cooling and generator. I know I'm actually buying a 16K (mile) motorhome with little wear! This inspector is top shelf!

"Thanks again for the inspection you did on our TT. We did purchase our 2022 Sunset Trail 253rb. We’ve been on 3 trips and were hoping for one more before closing for the season, but unfortunately, it looks like we’ll have to wait until next season.
The info found in our report didn’t stop us from purchasing our TT, but it helped us to have the dealer repair the items before we purchased or took it home.
The report was very useful and was definitely worth the investment! We were skeptical at first for a new rv but VERY glad we made the investment. We continue to recommend a certified inspector in our groups for both new and used RVs.
Unfortunately, the dealer wasn’t willing to change prices but they complete all of the work - thanks to the thorough report that we did share with the dealer.

"I recommend Rob. He is professional, thorough, knowledgeable and worth every penny. My family looked at a 2013 Fifth Wheel but ultimately decided not to purchase it. However, we were armed with a comprehensive report that found items as inconspicuous but significant as a propane leak as well as minor issues like a crack in the refrigerator crisper tray ....and EVERYTHING in between! We used the report to consult with an RV repairman on potential repair costs. Had we moved forward with the purchase, the report would have been a very useful negotiation tool. I believe Rob's work kept us from spending $20K on a unit and $15K+ on repairs undisclosed and possibly unknown to the dealer. I recommend Rob and will use him again on our next find."

"If, like me, you are buying an RV for the first time, it may come as a shock how low a priority quality control appears to be in the RV industry. You cannot compare this to buying a car or even a house. You might have to lower your expectations big time, and even if you buy from a manufacturer known for better quality, you will still want to make sure you're getting what you paid for. Trust but verify, right? If you live in the Chicago area, consider yourself very lucky and look no further. Rob Wilhelm did such a thorough, detail-oriented inspection on my brand new teardrop trailer, I was really glad to be there to witness it. I was trying to stay out of his way as he worked but I kept asking questions, all of which he answered, and I learned a lot just from looking over his shoulder as he tested the various systems on my new trailer. The following morning I received a very detailed, 50-page report which included super helpful photos and descriptions of all his findings. I passed this on to my dealer who promised to have every issue corrected prior to the delivery date next week. Rob is worth every penny and more. I just hope when I'm ready to trade up someday, it'll be before he has decided to retire."

"I purchased the RV. The inspection report was detailed, organized, and the fluid analysis was a huge part of our purchase decision. The information was very useful, and definitely, worth the investment. I was able to negotiate repairs which was great for me. One of the slide outs had wood rot in the floor and the dealer replaced the entire floor, repaired torn slide toppers, replaced all smoke, CO2, and LP detectors. The dealer did not replace the batteries as they initially stated, but they rejuvenated the batteries, so they can hold a charge. The dealer replaced the oil gasket seal and changed the oil. They changed the transmission fluid at my cost of $300.00. (assuming that price was reasonable). I was not able to negotiate price, but the inspection was well worth it for our purchase decision. I gave the dealer a copy of the report, and they indicated it was very detailed.

Then he provided a detailed list of all the items that would be necessary for him to perform a thorough evaluation of the RV. His written instructions were easy to follow. He showed up on time and provided me a verbal overview of his findings at the conclusion of his evaluation. Less than 24 hours later I received a written report, with pictures, with a detailed rating for every vehicle / RV component, including an easy-to-understand description of any problem areas. Rob was a pleasure to work (with). He is clearly an expert in his field."

"Thank you, Rob! Your report seems very thorough and I appreciate your guidance. (Dealer owner) seems interested in keeping me happy so I’m hopeful we get resolution to the noted deficiencies. Although I’m disappointed in the things you found, I’m so glad I hired you. Several of these things I wouldn’t have seen or noticed until later. For example, Thor now gives a 6yr/12yr lamination warranty on sidewalls and roof. With the unsealed gaps in the sidewalls they could have denied a warranty claim because it wasn’t maintained. I now have that documentation."

When we showed the seller the inspection report, we told them that if they fixed all the items Rob found we would pay them full price for their RV, They agreed. It took some time to get everything repaired, but they did it. Without the inspection from Rob, we would not have found many of the items and had them repaired. This service is not inexpensive, but we found it to be worth every $$!! Thanks Rob!"

"We did not purchase the RV you inspected. It was pretty worn inside and out though operationally for the most part, it worked…. we used your very thorough findings to negotiate but the seller wasn't willing to come down enough on price. I'm glad we didn't buy it. He was willing to come down $3000 from his price. According to your findings, there were at least $7000 - $8000 in repairs and it would still have looked beat up.
I wish we would have used you for the one we purchased. It was same make and model, in much better shape than the 1st one, but we would have avoided some of the surprises. We did get a better price on the 2nd RV, not sure the owner would have been willing to reduce his price any further, regardless of whether we had an inspection or not, but at least we would have known the issues upfront…we'll definitely use you again, if we buy another RV…5 plus!!"

"My positive experience with Rob Wilhelm of Professional RV Inspections, LLC was nothing short of amazing. Rob's very thorough inspection revealed numerous significant issues with an RV that looked nice from very little use that would have caused me many thousands of dollars in structural repairs and perhaps worse, due to water intrusion i did not see in my own inspection of the RV. Had this RV not been thoroughly inspected by someone with a knowledgeable eye as Mr. Wilhelm, my family may have been impacted by god-knows-what-complication from a cracked outside wall panel, and numerous water intrusion spots that I believe not only resulted in wall "delamination" I did not notice, but I think possible other things from water damage that can occur such as electrical and structural issues as well down the road. I have never purchased an RV before, and so I need to rely on someone who can tell me the truth about an RV's condition. While I was disappointed that the RV I thought would be "the diamond in the rough" was not what I had hoped it would be, I am glad I know now that it is not, so I can go find another one that will let my family and I be happy campers with for years to come."

Though some say you don't need an independent inspection when buying new. I am so glad we chose Rob's services. His report was extensive and included photos. Nothing was assumed to work because it was new - everything was checked. And he will find the smallest of flaws or issues that the dealer doesn't have the time or the inclination to find, especially with these vehicles flying out of the dealership. Armed with his report we were prepared for the dealership walk thru. In short - money well spent even on a brand new vehicle. And if you are buying used, you'd be foolish not to use his services."

"This by far was the best money spent on our new motor home. Since we purchased new, our vehicle is still under warranty and we wanted to make sure everything checked out. We purposely waited to do this until after we've had a handful of trips to see how things held up and to also figure out what might need to be fixed while still under warranty. Rob was so helpful, from our initial communication through completion of inspection, he is very prompt and thorough. Also, the report that we received as a result of the inspection was very similar to that of a home inspection, there were a lot of pictures and detailed references to things that he found. he also took the time to explain safety stuff and pointed out things in the report for our own reference about the RV. There are lots of opportunities to consider when to use Rob, in addition to doing what we did, you can also use him prior to you purchasing and if buying used, I would definitely recommend doing something like this. Additionally, Rob also has repeat customers who do annual safety checks prior to the season starting or at the end of the season to see what maintenance work might need to be done during the down time. I honestly recommend this for everyone whether you are buying new or used. I am so happy that our new RV will have the opportunity to have a handful of minor items addressed while still under warranty as these are things we never would have caught."

We were very impressed with the thoroughness of the over 100 page inspection that was better than our sticks and bricks HOME inspections. We thought it was well worth the money for the piece of mind it provided us. We decided against getting the RV based on the inspection and numerous fixes and water damage. Had we not gotten the inspection we would have bought a lemon and been out tens of thousands of dollars and had started our first purchase off on a bad foot. We do not consider the money we spent on the inspection wasted even though we chose not to get the RV. He saved us thousands! We have already found another one and are getting another inspection!

"My husband and I were keen to upgrade our RV to the current model of the Winnebago View- and we happened to locate one at a dealer in Illinois. Unfortunately, we live in Phoenix, so decided that it would be best to send an inspector to take a look before we committed fully. Rob was super responsive and scheduled time with a few days of our call. He was incredibly thorough- took him about 5 hours to get thru a 25 ft motor home. He followed up with a VERY thorough report- which was given to the dealer as well. By the time we traveled up to pick up the new rig, everything indicated was repaired or replaced, so we were ready to hit the road. When you're buying something this complicated, always a great idea to have a professional do the deep dive, it was worth every penny. Thanks Rob!"

I was planning to purchase a motorhome out of state, and sight unseen. Luckily Rob caught several problems and I was able to back out of the purchase. Had I purchased the motorhome without an inspection, I may not have made it safely back home from picking it up; and my dream of becoming a travel nurse would not have occurred because of the thousands of dollars I would have needed to put in the RV. I'm now under contract with another motorhome and pending an inspection. If it were located near Rob he'd be the inspector I'd seek out. An RV inspection gives me piece of mind and the ability to make an informed decision, and is worth every cent. I would absolutely refer someone to Rob!"

"I'm new to RV'ing, and spending a few hundred dollars for access to Rob's expertise was so worth it. A coach I was seriously looking at had had some pretty significant water intrusion issues sometime in its past. Rob zeroed in on that and, while he didn't say "I wouldn't buy this if I were you," he clearly demonstrated to me the extent of the damage, and gave me a feel for what else might be implied by the evidence of neglect. Just as importantly, the problem with this particular coach became a "teachable moment", and it impressed on me the importance of relentlessly paying attention to potential leak sites on the coach I eventually will find. Kind of a no-brainer, I know, but somehow a face-to-face session with an expert makes a profoundly lasting impression, and it will likely save me far more money in the long run than the price of Rob's service."

"We used Robert to check out a used RV we wanted to purchase. From the beginning he was professional and prompt with his communications. As first time buyers, we were clueless how the process would work and even how to approach dealers with wanting an inspection. (Although we ended up purchasing from a private seller, I first contacted Rob about an RV we were considering at a dealership.) Rob helped with all of this and proceeded to do an extensive inspection on the RV, uncovering some items we never would have noticed ourselves. Ultimately we concluded our RV was in acceptable shape for its age and nothing uncovered made us want to walk away from the sale. The inspection was still worth it for peace of mind, and also when we viewed the RV ourselves we felt confident not having to look at every single thing, pull slides out, get on the roof etc. etc. It made for a much better buying experience. Also the detailed inspection will serve as a good "to-do" list for my husband for the next year or so just for what he needs to fix before we use it and keep an eye on. Thanks, Robert!"

"I recently bought my first RV. After research online, the rig I wanted was a 3 year old model in Wisconsin and I live in Texas. Although the dealership offered a free 90-day house warranty, I knew going back to the dealership with issues wouldn't be an option. I wanted to make sure my RV was in good working order and safe before I took it home. I negotiated a contract with the dealership to purchase my rig contingent on the outcome of an inspection to be completed by Rob Wilhelm of Professional RV Inspections. My salesman was insistent Rob would find nothing wrong. However both he and I were impressed with the comprehensiveness of Rob's inspection. Thankfully there were no issues that weren't easily fixable by the dealership; they had just missed them. Rob had not. I am happy to say I made a 1700 mile trip to my home from the dealership and was completely safe and satisfied".

"My wife and I never owned an RV, so when we started shopping for a travel trailer we got a little nervous reading online about quality issues with many new RV's. Our main concern is about safety, but also wanted to make sure everything in the travel trailer was working right. To ease our mind we decided we would have our new RV inspected before final sale (this was written into the contract). We searched online for RV inspectors and saw that Rob from Pro RVI had a good reputation. Rob inspected our new RV right at Camping World (Wauconda, IL) and gave us a well detailed report with many photos. Rob found a number of issues with the RV: cracked roof-top sealant, small leak under the shower, ripped electrical loom under the slide, and some other small items. So, not only were we reassured there were not any major issues with the RV, Camping World fixed all the issues Pro RVI found during their inspection. In addition to the detailed report, Rob was very patient in answering all of our questions, which us as new RV owners had many.

"Hi Rob, we did purchase RV. The inspection report was significant in our decision, after addressing some of the concerns (black water tank being most concerning), we were able to purchase at a price we are happy with. We did not share full report, just the items that needed to be addressed, they were very accommodating. We give your service a 5! You were very thorough and available to communicating when needed. We would recommend your service to anyone planning on purchasing an RV. Thanks again."

"I was looking around for a Class B Rv to purchase and found a Roadtrek in Illinois for sale. I live in Maryland so I wanted a mechanic to go check it out before I bought it so I randomly called a auto repair shop in Illinois and they gave me the name Rob Wilhelm. I didn't know he was a level 2 certified RV inspector. I called Rob and told him about the RV and where it was located. He spoke with me at length about RV's. He answered all of my questions and addressed my concerns. Mr. Wilhelm has a wealth of knowledge of all things RV related. I'm new to this so I had a lot of questions and he answered all of them. He did the inspection on the RV and gave me a 92 pg report with pictures detailing everything. Additionally I opted to buy the fluid analysis to ascertain the condition of the transmission, engine, generator and cooling systems. I also got the detailed fluid analysis from the lab in a timely fashion explaining every finding and what it meant on the graph.I can't say enough about Mr. Wilhelm. He's knowledgeable, patient, honest and great to talk with. His professionalism is excellent. He emailed, called etc exactly when he said he would. He never left me hanging and would always return emails and calls promptly. This was a very pleasant experience! I recommend Pro RVI for any inspections you may have in this area or beyond. Thanks again Mr. Wilhelm. You were a blessing!"

Used Diesel Super C Inspection
Rating: 5
"Hi Bob
Actually i just got off the phone with (selling dealer) in regards to the Renegade RV. I have spent the last two days since getting your reports trying to decipher and make decisions on the unit. Since (selling dealer) has taken the attitude that there are no issues with this coach of any kind and it was ridiculous on my part to have the inspection done. I have asked them to send me my down payment back. They insist that no one ever does fluid analysis on units like this. The two main points of contention for me were that the generator needs extensive rework and then retesting to determine its true condition. Also the water damage to the back of the rear slide area was a concern also. My main point of contention though ended up being the results of the cooling test (coolant analysis) for the Detroit diesel engine. After speaking with a diesel mechanic and then a sales person involved in the purchase of used trucks both advised me to walk away from this purchase and that is what I have decided to do. (Selling dealer) was not willing to negotiate any discounts and insisted this RV was in perfect condition and needed no additional work. I did share the reports with seller at his request. I would rate your service at a 5....I will definitely have the next RV I decide I may want to purchase inspected as I feel that it provides great information I may have overlooked in my inspection. Thank you for all of your help."

Used Motorhome Inspection
"This is my first RV purchase and going into it I felt very uninformed on the mechanical and cosmetic condition of the RV. I have been monitoring prices online for several years, but was always hesitant to take the plunge especially since most RVs I'm interested in are a long ways away from Seattle. When I found the Phillips RV listing, I knew another RV at this price wouldn't come around again. After engaging with the sales person, I started researching RV inspectors. I was skeptical of "Professional RV Inspection", wondering who these people are given that I wouldn't be able to interview my inspector in-person. I found Pro RVI and several other inspectors on NRVIA's website. Pro RVI has a nice website, solid reviews on social media, and I had a great phone conversation with Rob leading up to the inspection. The cost of the inspection was a concern at first, but given the price of the RV it was really a minor expense and a huge piece of mind to know the complete condition of the RV. I was very excited about the RV and the issues found by the inspection helped bring me back down to Earth and refocus on negotiating the price and repairs. Ultimately the dealer made a number of repairs throughout the coach that would have cost me twice what the inspection cost. It more than paid for itself! The purchase depended entirely on the results of the inspection and the dealer's willingness to correct any issues. The fluid reports made me feel a lot better about purchasing the RV and were worth the added expense."

"Yes, I did go ahead with the purchase. The inspection did affect my decision because even though there are some minor mechanical repairs to be addressed, I felt the overall unit was worth the risk especially for the price I paid. I do feel that the inspection was worth it because of it being an older unit the report gave me an overall picture of it's condition and it gave me piece of mind with my decision to purchase. Plus it has given me a good "to do" list of things to be done to the unit. I may not have known where to start otherwise because I am so new to it. I did share the report with the dealer and they did recaulk most, if not all of the seals, they replaced the burnt out light bulbs and took it to a mechanic to check out the dash air. Unfortunately, the pump is out on the dash air and they did not fix it. I would definitely rate the whole inspection experience a 5 because it was thorough and you were very helpful and friendly. I will recommend ProRVI to others.
Thanks again for all you did."

"Found (Pro) RVI, from a satisfied customer on YouTube who raved about Rob. We're buying brand new Class C from out of state and took the step of hiring Rob for added measure. While the dealer seems perplexed because they swore they do a through inspection and it wasn't necessary, another pair of experienced eyes sure wouldn't hurt and indeed he found some things that were missed, some serious that need to be fixed before we bring our rig home. Rob sent a detailed report along with photos right on time. Rob was easy to work with, transparent, and followed through exactly as he said he would. For us, considering what we spent on this rig, he was worth the investment. Thanks Rob!"

His work was thorough and extremely valuable - resulting in a number of repairs and replacements on the Class A we were looking at. He even issued me a small refund on a "fluid test" that turned out not to be applicable to this particular motorhome - for the record, I would have never known, but for his honesty. I wouldn't consider purchasing another motorhome without getting an inspection done and Rob would be my first call."

"Pro RVI (Rob) has made our experience of buying an RV a complete pleasure. They came recommend by another inspector (Jim McKay). My wife and I are from Australia, with absolutely ZERO RV experience. Rob told us initially what to look for in RV shopping. We then sent him website links and he expressed any initial concerns he had BEFORE inspecting. Then when we decided on units - he spoke to the dealers. Some dealers "don't allow" inspectors on their lot, and that too raised red flags. The unit we ended up purchasing came from a dealer that Rob had recommended. The dealership was very professional, PLUS having Rob's report and fluid analysis calmed any fears we had for our adventures around America. Rob was tireless and invaluable in his assistance to us."

Just wanted to touch base. Perhaps you remember inspecting the 2007 Newmar Kountry Star in Genoa City WI last June. I wanted to let you know that we did purchase the unit and have spent the last seven months living in it. So far all is good.....
I wanted to let you know that I am fully satisfied with the work you did, especially the comprehensive report provided. We addressed many of the deficiencies mentioned and I cannot tell you how many times I have referred to the information, descriptions, serial numbers, pictures and details provided in RVI’s report. I still occasionally open the document and often find the information I’m looking for.
Thanks again for the nice work and hope all is well. Feel free to use me as a reference and I will provide a positive response.
