RV Technical Solutions is owned and operated by Chad Boyce, an NRVIA Certified RV Inspector and RVTI Certified RV Technician.
My RV career began at the National RV Training Academy (NRVTA) in Athens, Texas, the nation’s largest hands-on training facility dedicated to RV inspection, maintenance, and repair. There, I completed the education and testing required to become an NRVIA Certified RV Inspector while also receiving technical training in RV systems, diagnostics, maintenance, and repair.
After completing my training, I spent a year with AC Nelsen RV World in Shakopee, Minnesota, performing Pre-Delivery Inspections (PDIs) on a wide range of RVs, including travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, and motorized units. This role allowed me to apply my inspection training in a real-world environment while diagnosing and repairing issues discovered during the inspection process.
I then spent an additional year with Lazydays RV in Ramsey, Minnesota (now Campers Inn RV), one of the nation’s largest RV dealership networks. There, I focused on Class A motorhomes, Super C motorhomes, and other high-end RVs, performing comprehensive inspections, PDIs, troubleshooting, and repairs. During this time, I further advanced my technical education and earned certification through the RV Technical Institute (RVTI), the RV industry’s premier manufacturer-backed technician certification program.
Unlike many inspectors who focus solely on inspection procedures, my background combines professional inspection training with hands-on dealership experience inspecting, diagnosing, and repairing RV systems. This experience provides a deeper understanding of how RV components operate, how they fail, and what may be required to correct deficiencies when they are discovered.
As an NRVIA Certified RV Inspector, I follow a strict Standard of Practice and Code of Ethics designed to ensure inspections are performed thoroughly, professionally, and consistently. My goal is to provide every client with an honest, unbiased evaluation so they can make informed decisions about their RV investment.
By combining NRVIA certification, RVTI certification, NRVTA training, and years of dealership inspection and repair experience, I provide clients with both the perspective of an inspector and the practical knowledge of a technician.

Inspection Options
Premier Inspection
Our most comprehensive inspection package. The Premier Inspection is designed for buyers who want the highest level of confidence before purchasing an RV.
This inspection includes detailed testing and evaluation of all accessible RV systems and components, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, appliances, roof condition, exterior components, interior features, slide-outs, awnings, and water intrusion detection. Hundreds of individual inspection points are reviewed, tested, and documented.
Typical inspection time: 4–6+ hours on-site, plus additional time for report preparation and documentation.
Essential Inspection
The Essential Inspection focuses on the RV’s most important and failure-prone systems while reducing the overall inspection scope and cost.
This inspection covers the critical systems most likely to impact safety, functionality, and immediate ownership costs, including the roof, water intrusion indicators, furnace, air conditioner, water heater, refrigerator, electrical system, and plumbing system.
The Essential Inspection is often a good choice for lower-priced RVs, experienced RV owners, or buyers who want a professional assessment of the major systems without the additional detail of a full Premier Inspection.
Typical inspection time: 2–3+ hours on-site, plus additional time for report preparation and documentation.
Inspection Report
Every inspection includes a detailed digital report delivered within 24–48 hours. Reports include a summary of findings, supporting photographs, and organized documentation to help buyers and owners make informed decisions.
An RV inspection involves far more than the time spent on-site. After the inspection is completed, additional hours are dedicated to reviewing findings, organizing photographs, documenting deficiencies, and preparing a comprehensive report. Depending on the size and complexity of the RV, the total time invested in a single inspection often exceeds the on-site inspection time itself.

• Engine, drivetrain, chassis, and powertrain components are not included.
• Utility connections may be required to fully test certain systems.
• Travel fees may apply outside the standard service area.

My job as an RV Inspector is to educate you on the condition of an RV you are interested in purchasing with an in-depth, unbiased, 3rd party inspection which includes a detailed report, and photos, showing potential issues or hazardous conditions so that you can make an informed purchasing decision and avoid buying a new or used RV that has existing problems that you do not want to pay extra for once you drive it home.
We have no financial interest in the outcome of the inspection. We do not make any repairs on the units we inspect. We simply make you aware of the potential issues with the RV. We help dealerships become aware of potential issues as well as consumers purchasing an RV who want to obtain a detailed report on the condition of the RV they intend to purchase.
As a Certified RV Inspector, we are required to follow a very specific set of Standards set out by the NRVIA and we practice a strict Code of Ethics to ensure that you, the consumer, will receive an impartial, unbiased inspection performed with honesty and Integrity.
Choosing the right RV inspector is just as important as choosing the right RV.
At RV Technical Solutions, inspections are performed by Chad Boyce, an NRVIA Certified RV Inspector and RVTI Certified RV Technician. This combination of inspection and technical training allows us to identify issues that may affect safety, reliability, performance, and future repair costs.
Every inspection is conducted independently and without any financial interest in the outcome of the sale. Our goal is to provide an honest, unbiased assessment of the RV’s condition so you can make an informed decision.
Each inspection includes a detailed digital report with supporting photographs, clear documentation of findings, and practical recommendations. Whether you’re purchasing your first RV or upgrading to your next one, our inspections provide valuable insight and peace of mind before you commit to a major investment.
In most cases, yes.
An RV is a complex combination of electrical, plumbing, HVAC, propane, structural, and mechanical systems. Even RVs that appear to be in excellent condition can have hidden issues that are not obvious during a casual walkthrough.
Many buyers are surprised to learn that problems are not limited to older RVs. In fact, even brand-new RVs frequently have defects or incomplete repairs that may not be discovered until after delivery. During inspections, it is common to find issues ranging from minor workmanship concerns to significant problems involving water intrusion, appliances, electrical systems, plumbing systems, slide-outs, and safety-related components.
A professional RV inspection provides an unbiased evaluation of the RV’s condition before you commit to the purchase. The inspection report can help you negotiate repairs or pricing with the seller, identify items that require attention, and avoid unexpected expenses after the sale.
For many buyers, the cost of an inspection is small compared to the potential cost of purchasing an RV with significant hidden problems. Whether the RV is brand new or several years old, an independent inspection can provide valuable peace of mind and help ensure there are no major surprises after you take ownership.
Yes.
A professional RV inspection can identify deficiencies, maintenance concerns, and repair items that may not be obvious during a typical walkthrough. The inspection report provides documented findings and supporting photographs that can be used to discuss repairs, credits, or price adjustments with the seller.
While the purpose of the inspection is not to determine the value of the RV, the information provided can help buyers better understand the condition of the unit and make informed purchasing decisions.
Many buyers find that the inspection pays for itself by uncovering issues that can be addressed before the sale is finalized.
Absolutely.
Many buyers assume that a brand-new RV will be free of defects, but that is often not the case. Modern RVs are complex and contain thousands of components, systems, and connections that must function properly together. Even new units can leave the factory with incomplete repairs, workmanship issues, missing components, improperly installed equipment, or systems that were not fully tested.
It is common for inspections of new RVs to uncover issues involving plumbing, electrical systems, appliances, roof sealant, slide-outs, water intrusion concerns, and other items that should be addressed before or shortly after delivery.
A professional inspection can help identify these issues early, giving the dealer or manufacturer an opportunity to correct them while the RV is still under warranty.
Whether the RV is brand new or several years old, an independent inspection provides an objective assessment of its condition and can help prevent unexpected surprises after you take ownership. an answer to this item.
A dealer’s Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) and an independent RV inspection serve different purposes.
A PDI is typically performed by the dealership to prepare the RV for delivery and identify items that need attention before the customer takes ownership. While many dealerships do a good job, the inspection is performed by the same organization selling the RV.
An independent RV inspection is performed solely on behalf of the buyer. The goal is to provide an unbiased evaluation of the RV’s condition, document any deficiencies, and identify potential concerns before the purchase is finalized.
Many buyers choose to have an independent inspection completed even after a dealership PDI has been performed. The additional review can provide peace of mind and may uncover issues that were overlooked, incomplete, or not apparent during the dealer’s inspection process.
For buyers making a significant investment, an independent inspection provides an extra layer of protection and confidence before taking ownership of the RV.
Yes.
Water intrusion is one of the most common and costly issues found in RVs. Even a small roof, window, or sealant leak can lead to significant damage over time, including rot, delamination, mold, damaged flooring, and structural deterioration.
As part of the inspection process, RV Technical Solutions evaluates areas that are commonly affected by water intrusion and uses specialized moisture-detection equipment to help identify elevated moisture levels in accessible areas of the RV.
While no inspection can guarantee that all hidden moisture issues will be discovered, identifying signs of current or past water intrusion is an important part of every inspection and can help buyers avoid expensive surprises after purchase.
For many RV buyers, water intrusion concerns are among the most important reasons for obtaining a professional inspection.
After the inspection is complete, the findings are reviewed, photographs are organized, and a detailed digital inspection report is prepared.
Your report will include a summary of findings, supporting photographs, and documentation of any deficiencies, maintenance concerns, safety issues, or items that may require further evaluation. Reports are typically delivered within 24–48 hours of the inspection.
Once you receive the report, you’ll have the information needed to make an informed decision about the RV. Buyers often use the report to negotiate repairs, request price adjustments, prioritize maintenance items, or determine whether to move forward with the purchase.
If you have questions about the report or any of the findings, RV Technical Solutions is available to discuss the results and help you better understand the condition of the RV.
