RoadRunners Mobile RV Inspection & Repair

Fluid analysis from your NRVIA certified inspector protects you from buying someone else’s headaches

Have you ever considered the cost of having to repair, or worse yet, replace an RV engine or transmission? These are incredibly expensive components that you depend on, day in and day out, to safely and efficiently move your RV down the road. Either of these components would require thousands of dollars to repair or replace plus you’d have to deal with weeks of “out of service” time due to manufacturer, dealer and/or service center delays. Perhaps not quite as expensive; but, generator problems could also become a major issue. Thankfully, NRVIA certified inspectors are trained to pull fluid samples for lab processing as part of their “pre-purchase” inspections. Adding fluid analysis ensures to your RV inspection helps ensure that you don’t end up inheriting someone else’s engine, transmission or generator problems.

Potential problems, like internal part wear or excessive contamination, cannot be detected by non-certified inspectors who simply pull dipsticks and check fluid levels. Fluid analysis reports, from an NRVIA certified inspectors, show you the true condition inside the components (engine, transmission, generator and cooling system) on the RV you may be considering for purchase. ISO Certified laboratory testing shows if the fluids are still good or if they are either worn out or contaminated. Just as in home inspections, if costly repairs or maintenance is required, those costs can be negotiated as part of the deal. Why take chances on these complex and ultra-expensive systems when fluid analysis can reveal so much? Fluid analysis is the only way to “look inside” RV engines, transmissions and generators. If your reports show critical test results, it’s probably time to “keep looking”.
