RV Guardian Inspections

My Mission

At RV Guardian Inspections, my mission is simple. To protect RV buyers from costly surprises and give them the confidence they deserve when making such an important purchase. As an NRVIA Certified Inspector and RVTAA Certified Technician, and with over 13 years of hands-on experience in an RV body shop, I’ve worked on every type of camper you can imagine. From travel trailers and fifth wheels to motorhomes of all sizes. Over the years, I’ve seen far too many people buy an RV only to discover major issues later on, problems that could cost thousands to repair and turn the dream of RV ownership into a nightmare. That’s why I started RV Guardian Inspections to be the extra set of trained, experienced eyes that spots the hidden issues before you sign the paperwork. My goal is to give you the knowledge you need to make an informed decision, so you can buy with confidence and enjoy your RV adventures without regret. When you choose RV Guardian Inspections, you’re not just getting an inspection, you’re getting a partner who’s here for you long after the job is done. Whether it’s answering questions, offering advice, or pointing you in the right direction for repairs and maintenance, I’m committed to being there for you every step of the way. Because buying an RV should be exciting, not stressful. And I’m here to help make sure it stays that way.
