I found "Meet You There RV Repair & Inspection" while searching Google Maps for "certified RV inspector" near Albuquerque, New Mexico in February 2021. My wife and I were very excited about buying a used travel trailer we had located in ABQ, but we wanted a reliable estimate of how much repair it would require before we finalized that $18,000 purchase.
I was very impressed with the many 5-star customer reviews these inspectors (Tom & Ely) had received, so I requested a quote. The inspection price was hefty, but I was very impressed with their professionalism, their timely responses to all my inquiries, and how detailed the inspection would be. I decided it would be an investment worth making considering I had $18K at stake.
Tom & Ely spent over 6 hours inspecting the RV in question and delivered an interactive web site and a 59-page PDF report with over 60 photos including 360-degree GoPro images that give a "virtual tour" of key spots inside and outside of the trailer. The detailed report was carefully organized with serious "Life Safety" issues up front, "Major Issues" next, then "Minor Issues" and a miscellaneous "Notice / Comment" section at the end. This made it much easier for my wife and I to prioritize all the issues discovered and decide whether we were willing to invest our money and our time making all those repairs.
In our case, we decided this RV was clearly not worth the risk! The number and type of major + minor issues indicated this RV had not received the most basic proper maintenance over the past 3 years and it suggested more hidden water damage beyond what is currently visible in any inspection.
Now I might have discovered some of the 21 issues on this particular RV on my own, running an amateur inspection with some checklist downloaded from the web somewhere. But I am 100% certain I would *never* have discovered the number and detail of the issues that Tom & Ely uncovered and carefully documented for us. And I would probably have had a tough time sorting the truly important issues from the minor issues. Bottom line: There is no substitute for true expertise and "Meet You There RV Repair & Inspection" did a superb job protecting us from a very expensive mistake! read more
