We hired one certified inspectors in both Atlanta and in Vegas and they said they would do the same thing as far as inspections. The one in Atlanta did it but the ones in Vegas did not and they were both NIRVA certified and NRVTA trained.
An inspection is only as good as the inspector though.many have reported their inspector missed all kinds of issues.maybe a video on how to vet an inspector would be valuable.
I had a inspector that was only there for about 15-20 minute, he turned on the water faucets, check the water heater for hot water, check the A/C on/off, took a bunch of pictures and that was it. I doubt he was a certified NRVIA inspector. Get a certified NRVIA inspector well worth the money. So many people buy new RV's and think that the dealer has gone over and check everything, NOT. You take your RV out for your 1st trip and find out the problems on the road. Don't assume the dealer going to jump right in and fix the problems right away. You could be waiting for weeks if not months for parts.
Convincing. I will be using one in the next couple months before a take possession of a new rig-----Then I go see the Beard for my solar!
@@Ex.Nihilo hello out of nothing. Gen 1 let us know if we can be of help.
@@NationalRVTrainingAcademy Thank you- don’t want to bother you all until I have the rig in hand. But will make contact.
Excellent idea to get an inspection...I am an RV tech service calls and structural...too many times we are called out to basically give people bad news about their new RV... it's so much easier to get items addressed before you take possession of it... the dealership really only wants to hear from you again when you're ready to buy another one...side note: look out for condensation issues on new models... literally have a 7 week old model that's going to total cuz of condensation... humidity and 3 AC RVs with poor insulation doesn't work down here in the south
Good tips on inspections! Big Beard, Rv unplugged!
We had a NRVTA trained inspector that missed quite a few problems with our brand new unit. IE; window shade on dinette couldn't lower fully due to table being in the way. Missing rivets on entry way door, over table cabinets being poorly aligned. We paid big bucks for a complete inspection, was told it would take a minimum of 6 hours. was done in less than 2. And of course only found those missing Items and others after returning home from dealer ship 7 hours away. Thanks,
posting this pre debut of video, hopefully those concerns will be addressed. during the vid.
thanks keep up the good work.
@jjustj the detail missed are really simple mistakes, im sure if you reach out to the inspectors and let them know what they missed, you will be giving them important points to help others
The paperwork should have shown what and what is not included in the inspection. Cabinet alignment isn't covered in the training. Inpectors, set clear expectations of what you will and what you are unable to inspect. NRVTA inspectors are there to be unbiased, truthful, and transparent.
Well like anything there are good and bad techs in everything. One will have to assume most are good, apparently you got someone that took a short cut.
AMAZINGLY *Good Tips*! 🙂
Great concept except I reached out twice to have an inspection done on my factory built RV well before it was going to be delivered. I never heard back from anyone. Now I’ve been riding around for four months in this trailer and I’m finding things wrong.
