About Dewayne Marion & HD-RV Inspections Texas
Austin RV Inspections, by NRVIA Certified inspectors.
Fully mobile, independent, and held to NRVIA Standards of Practice. From Round Rock to Dripping Springs, Bastrop to Bee Cave — we deliver the technical, photo-documented inspections smart buyers and sellers demand. Visual and tactile, by eye and hand, on every coach we touch.
Visual, tactile inspections held to NRVIA standards.
Every inspection follows the NRVIA Standards of Practice — observation by eye and hand across the full coach. The same disciplined 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 damage
- 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
Austin RV inspection services for every coach type.
From a Class A diesel pusher in Lakeway to a fifth-wheel in Bastrop or a travel trailer headed to Lake Travis — 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 compartment, 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 compartment, transmission visual review, 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 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 Austin metro
- 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 greater Austin.
HD-RV is a fully mobile inspection service. We come to dealerships, RV parks, storage lots, and private residences across the entire Austin metro and surrounding Central Texas communities.
Our primary service area covers Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Leander, Lakeway, and Bee Cave. We also routinely travel to Dripping Springs, Kyle, Buda, San Marcos, Wimberley, Bastrop, Hutto, and Manor.
We work alongside 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 the Austin metro market looks like.
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 Austin-area 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 the inspection location.
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 + Partner
HD-RV was founded with one principle: every RV buyer deserves a technical, honest, photo-documented inspection — independent of any dealership or sales pressure. Dewayne Marion and his inspection partner work as a two-person team, combining hands-on inspection time with structured NRVIA-protocol documentation.
Every inspection — Austin, Hill Country, or anywhere else in Central Texas — 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.
