An RV annual inspection is a comprehensive yearly checkup of your RV’s major systems, safety equipment and structural components. Just like routine maintenance on a car, an annual inspection helps identify normal wear, developing problems and maintenance needs before they turn into costly breakdowns or travel disruptions.
RVs experience constant vibration, weather exposure, and long periods of storage, all of which can cause seals to fail, connections to loosen, and components to deteriorate over time.
The purpose of an annual inspection is preventative - to keep your RV safe, reliable, and ready for travel while reducing the risk of unexpected repairs, water damage or system failures.

Annual inspections are recommended for all RV owners, whether the RV is used frequently or only seasonally.
Owners who travel long distances, live in their RV full-time, or store their unit outdoors benefit especially from yearly evaluations due to increased wear and weather exposure. Even lightly used RVs can develop issues such as sealant failure, battery deterioration, pest intrusion, or appliance problems while in storage.
An annual inspection is also a smart choice for owners who want to protect their investment, maintain resale value and avoid emergency repair costs during trips.



















A safety inspection focuses strictly on conditions that could cause injury, fire, carbon monoxide exposure, propane hazards, or unsafe driving/towing situations.
It does not cover cosmetic issues or minor wear items.
A full inspection is more comprehensive and evaluates overall condition, functionality, and maintenance concerns in addition to safety.
Most RV safety inspections take 2 - 3 hours, depending on the size and type of RV and how accessible key components are.
Larger motorhomes or units with multiple systems may require additional time to properly evaluate all safety-related areas.
Yes. Even newer RVs can have overlooked installation issues, loose fittings, propane leaks, electrical hazards, or manufacturer defects.
A safety inspection provides an independent evaluation to ensure critical systems are safe for occupancy and travel.
Safety inspections are recommended before purchasing an RV, before long trips, after long storage periods, and anytime you suspect a problem such as unusual smells, warning lights, water leaks or appliance issues.
They are also beneficial after accidents or severe weather exposure.
