Know Before You Buy — Know Before You Go
Tony is a Certified RV Inspector (NRVIA) with Advanced Inspector Training from the National RV Training Academy. Comprehensive 5+ hour inspections, same-day reports.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
A pre-purchase RV inspection is the single most valuable thing you can do before signing a purchase agreement. Blue Line RV Service will inspect the RV at the seller's location and deliver a comprehensive, photo-documented report the same day.
All inspections follow NRVIA standards and cover 200+ inspection points across all systems. Inspections start at 9am and take a minimum of 5 hours. Blue Line does not currently inspect RVs older than 2004.
Be Prepared
To ensure a complete and efficient inspection, please have the following ready before Tony arrives.
All inspections start at 9am and last a minimum of 5 hours
Inspections cannot take place while repairs are ongoing, the RV is being detailed, or during scheduled walk-throughs
Enough space to fully extend and retract all slide-out rooms and awnings, and to safely maneuver a ladder around the RV
RV refrigerator should be turned on at least 12 hours before the inspection
Propane tanks should be at least half full
RV fuel tank should be at least half full for generator testing
Shore power supply of 50A or 30A required (standard 110V house power is not suitable)
If city water is unavailable, freshwater tank must be full
Dewinterization should be completed before the inspection
Wastewater/sewer hookups preferred but not mandatory
Remove personal items from all areas — exterior storage bays and interior cabinets and closets
Remove bed linens and furniture covers
Keys for all areas must be accessible — entrance doors, cargo bays, fuel doors, ignition (if applicable)
Wheel covers should be removed
Don't Let It Expire Unexamined
Your RV warranty is one of the most valuable protections you have — but only if you use it before it expires. Blue Line RV Service performs end-of-warranty inspections that give you a detailed, documented report to present directly to your dealer.
Dealers are required to address warranty issues before the coverage ends. Without an inspection, those issues go undetected and become your expense. Schedule your end-of-warranty inspection at least 60 days before expiration to allow time for dealer follow-up.
Tip: Schedule at least 60 days before your warranty expires. This gives your dealer time to order parts and complete repairs before coverage ends.
New RV Owner?
When purchasing a new RV, the orientation provided by the dealer is often brief with limited hands-on time. Many new owners incorrectly assume RV systems work the same as a traditional home — they don't. Blue Line RV Service offers personalized walk-throughs so you actually understand your rig.
We'll walk through every system in your new RV — electrical, plumbing, propane, slides, and more — until you're confident operating it yourself.
Tony can meet you at a local campground on your first trip to make sure setup, hookups, and teardown all go smoothly.
Your RV has three distinct electrical systems and two separate water systems. Every trip subjects it to vibration and stress that a house never experiences.
Ask about our post-delivery walk-through service — personalized attention to help you understand every system in your RV.
Predictive Maintenance
Fluid analysis catches developing problems before they become expensive failures. Blue Line RV Service collects and submits samples to certified labs and helps you interpret the results.
Detects fuel dilution, coolant contamination, and metal wear particles early.
Identifies clutch wear, varnish buildup, and oxidation before costly repairs.
Monitors generator wear trends and optimal oil change intervals.
Checks for corrosion inhibitor depletion and contamination risks.
Rush results available. Standard results are typically returned within 48–72 hours of the sample reaching the lab. Rush processing available — select this option when booking. Always using the same inspector and lab ensures consistent, comparable results over time.
