Let's discuss our Inspection Services: Part 2 of a 4-part series ( The Standard Inspection).
The Standard Inspection is our most popular inspection; It is our middle-of-the-road inspection level. The report provided a good amount of detail that allows you to make an informed decision about the RV you are looking to purchase. Our Standard Inspection is a detailed and cost-effective option that fits most people's inspection needs. It is much more than a basic look at the condition of the RV; it does not come with the higher cost of the comprehensive inspection.
The inspection focuses on the operation of all major components, inside and out, the condition of the roof, and any visual evidence of water damage and excessive wear. The report covers over 300 data points and comprises 35 to 50 photos and videos with descriptions.
All Around RV Inspections also offers Fluid Analysis as an add-on to any of our inspection options. Examples of fluids include Engine Oil, Transmission Oil, Engine Coolant, Generator Oil, and Generator Coolant. These samples are sent to an independent lab for analysis, and results are typically available within 4-8 days.
