Pre-Purchase RV Inspection

 

Buying an RV is a big investment. A professional pre-purchase inspection helps you avoid expensive surprises and gives you the confidence to say yes or walk away.

 

At MilTech RV, an NRVIA Certified Inspector comes to the RV’s location—dealer, private seller, storage lot, or campground—and performs a detailed, system-by-system inspection. You receive an easy-to-understand digital report with photos, notes, and recommendations.
