Corpus Christi RV Inspections, built for the coast.
NRVIA Certified, fully mobile, independent. We deliver the technical, photo-documented RV inspections smart buyers and sellers demand — applied with the same disciplined visual and tactile protocol whether the coach is parked in Padre Island, Rockport, or Corpus Christi.
Visual, tactile inspections held to NRVIA standards.
Every inspection follows the NRVIA Standards of Practice — observation by eye and hand across more than 200 components and systems. The same disciplined visual and tactile protocol catches the corrosion, water staining, and seal failure that casual walk-throughs miss.
- Visual & tactile inspection per NRVIA Standards of Practice
- Frame, hitch & undercarriage examined for corrosion and pitting
- Roof climbed and inspected on every coach (own ladder)
- Ceiling, walls & floors checked for staining, soft spots & delamination
- 100+ photos and a written report delivered within 24 hours
Comprehensive evaluations for every coach type.
Whether you're buying a Class A diesel pusher in Padre Island or selling a fifth-wheel in Rockport, we deliver the right inspection for the rig.
Pre-Purchase Inspection
The most common — and most valuable — inspection. A complete top-to-bottom evaluation that arms you with negotiation leverage and removes guesswork from the biggest RV decision you'll make.
- Full systems audit: electrical, propane, plumbing, appliances
- Roof, sidewall, slide-out & seal inspection
- Engine, generator & chassis review (motorhomes)
- Detailed digital report with 100+ photos
Motorhome Inspection
Class A, B, and C motorhomes carry every system of a house plus a heavy-duty drivetrain. Our motorhome inspection covers both — engine, transmission, generator, leveling jacks, and full house systems.
- Optional fluid analysis (engine, transmission, coolant) — $125 each
- Generator load testing & maintenance check
- Hydraulic & electric leveling system audit
- Chassis battery, cables & disconnect switch (per NRVIA SOP §16)
Travel Trailer & Fifth Wheel
Towables require careful attention to coupling, frame, and brake systems. The NRVIA inspection covers each of these — including undercarriage components vulnerable to road salt and humidity — by visual and tactile observation across the full coach.
- King pin / hitch system structural inspection
- Frame, axle & suspension evaluation
- House battery, cables & disconnect switch (per NRVIA SOP §18)
- Slide-out mechanism, seals & operation testing
Life Safety + Fluid Analysis Add-On
Life safety items — propane integrity, detector function — are part of every NRVIA inspection. Fluid analysis is an optional add-on that pulls oil, transmission, or coolant samples and sends them to a lab for wear-metal and contamination testing.
- Propane leak test (8" W.C. for 5 min, per NRVIA SOP)
- CO, LP & smoke detector verification
- Hot Skin Test on the 120V system
- Optional fluid sampling — $125 per fluid (oil, trans, coolant, etc.)
Honest pricing, built for your coach.
Every RV is different. Pricing is determined case-by-case based on the rig, the systems involved, and the location. Travel is always built into the quote — never added on after.
Case-by-case inspection pricing.
RV inspections aren't one-size-fits-all. A 22-foot travel trailer and a 45-foot Class A diesel pusher require different time, scope, and expertise — and the price reflects that. Call or message with your coach details and we'll quote you up front.
- Coach type, length, and complexity
- Inspection scope (Pre-Purchase, Life Safety, etc.)
- Site location within the Coastal Bend
- Any optional add-ons (fluid analysis)
Fluid Analysis
Pulls a fluid sample for lab analysis — wear-metal trending, contamination, and chemistry that visual inspection alone cannot reveal. Highly recommended for high-value coaches and any pre-purchase decision involving an unknown service history.
- Engine Oil
- Transmission
- Coolant
- Generator Oil
- Differential
Mobile across the Coastal Bend.
HD-RV is a fully mobile inspection service. We come to dealerships, RV parks, storage lots, and private residences across the entire Corpus Christi metro and beyond.
Our primary service area covers Corpus Christi, Port Aransas, Rockport, Aransas Pass, Portland, Ingleside, Padre Island, and Mustang Island. We also routinely travel south to Kingsville and west to Alice and Robstown.
We work with the area's major dealers, parks & service centers.
HD-RV is independent of every dealership and service shop, but we know the local landscape — where coaches come from, where they're stored, and what to look for from each source.
Five steps from request to report.
A predictable, transparent workflow built around the buyer's timeline — not the seller's pressure.
Request & Schedule
Call (940) 297-7554 or use the booking form. We confirm coach details, location, seller contact, and timeline. Most coastal inspections book within 3 to 7 days.
Coordinate with Seller
We contact the seller or dealership directly to confirm site access, coach readiness (full water, charged batteries, hookups), and any logistics specific to coastal storage facilities.
On-Site Inspection
A typical NRVIA inspection runs 6–8 hours. Every system is documented with photographs, every roof is climbed, every appliance is run, every fluid is checked.
Report Compilation
Findings are compiled into a digital report with high-resolution photos and clear next-step recommendations. Delivered within 24 hours of inspection.
Consultation & Negotiation Support
Every report includes a complimentary post-delivery consultation. We walk you through findings and help you make informed buying, negotiating, or walk-away decisions.
Dewayne Marion
HD-RV was founded with one principle: every RV buyer deserves a technical, honest, photo-documented inspection — independent of any dealership or sales pressure. After serving Central and South Texas markets for years, expanding into the Coastal Bend was a natural step.
Every inspection — coastal or inland — is held to the same standard: NRVIA Standards of Practice, visual and tactile observation across the full coach, no shortcuts. That consistency is what HD-RV is built on.
Questions worth asking.
