Buying a used RV in Miami-Dade without an independent inspection is a higher-risk decision than the same purchase in most other markets. Miami's climate accelerates RV degradation in ways that are often invisible on a casual walkthrough: lap sealant that looks intact from the ground can be cracked at every penetration on the roof; delamination in early stages is not visible but is detectable with a moisture meter; electrical corrosion from salt air is inside connectors that look clean on the outside; and AC systems that "run" may be running on failed capacitors that will need replacement within weeks. A $295 inspection fee is consistently the best money Miami RV buyers spend.

Our pre-purchase inspection covers the complete RV system condition with a Miami-climate focus. Roof: we walk the full roof and inspect every penetration with a moisture meter at the ceiling below each point. Electrical: we test all shore power circuits, DC battery state, converter output, and all 12V lighting and slide systems. Plumbing: water pump, water heater, all faucets and fixtures, and visible tank conditions. AC: we run each unit under load and measure discharge temperature as a function of ambient temperature. Slide-outs: we extend and retract all slides, inspect the gear tracks and motor mounts, and assess the seals. Leveling: we run the auto-level and verify all jacks extend and retract. Appliances: we run the stove, oven, and refrigerator under load. Structure: we probe the floor at all common water intrusion points and inspect the exterior for delamination and body damage.

You receive a written report with photographs documenting every system we inspected and every finding, same-day. The report includes a condition rating for each system, a list of items needing immediate attention versus items to monitor, and estimated repair costs for actionable findings - which gives you the information needed to negotiate the purchase price or walk away from a poor-value deal. We inspect at the seller's location wherever the RV is located in Miami-Dade. We ask that the RV be accessible with all slides extended and leveling jacks deployed so we can inspect all systems in operational state.

On Miami pre-purchase inspections, we find actionable issues on the majority of RVs we inspect. The most common findings that change buyer decisions: hidden moisture at ceiling points from active or past roof leaks that were not disclosed (found on approximately 40 percent of inspections); lap sealant that appears intact from the ground but is cracked at every penetration when inspected from the roof (approximately 65 percent); failing AC capacitors that will need replacement within one season (approximately 30 percent); and early-stage wall delamination visible only with physical probing (approximately 25 percent). Any single one of these findings can justify the inspection fee in avoided repair costs or negotiated purchase price reduction. The combination of findings on a typical Miami used RV provides a clear picture of the true cost of ownership that a casual walkthrough would not reveal.
2.5-4 hours for a complete inspection, depending on RV size and number of systems. We need all slides extended and jacks deployed for full access.
Yes. We come to wherever the RV is located in Miami-Dade. We inspect at private residences, storage facilities, and dealer lots.
Roof sealant condition evaluated against the 18-24 month Miami interval, moisture meter readings at all ceiling points, electrical connection corrosion from salt air, slide-out motor corrosion assessment, and AC system age and condition relative to Miami heat wear rates.
Always. Dealer certification varies widely in scope. We find actionable issues on the majority of Miami pre-purchase inspections, most of which affect the negotiation.
