Chief RV, LLC

Chief RV, LLC is a mobile RV inspection and technician service based in Riverside, California. It comes to you, whether that is a dealership, storage lot, or a private seller's location, and also handles pre-purchase inspections and technician visits across its service area. Chief RV operates throughout the state of California, with named service in Riverside, San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Ventura, plus a long list of surrounding communities from Santa Monica to Pasadena to Calabasas.

It inspects and works on roofs, sidewalls, slide-outs, awnings, chassis and running lights, generators, inverters, waste water systems, LP gas systems, refrigerators, water heaters, furnaces, air conditioners, battery systems, and appliances down to the microwave and dishwasher, across Class A, B and C motorhomes, fifth wheels, toy haulers and travel trailers. It also offers pre-purchase inspections, pre-listing inspections, warranty and insurance inspections, re-inspections, fluid analysis, winterization and de-winterization, and a specialty hydro-jet tank cleaning service for black and gray tanks that uses no chemicals and works right at a fully hooked-up RV site.

Chief RV does not publish an hourly rate or a flat trip fee amount; it says it will travel for inspections "for a reasonable fee based upon the distance and convenience of access," so ask about that fee when you call. Weekend appointments are available on request, and inspection reports come back within 24 hours. The company is veteran-owned, founded by retired Navy Chief Christopher Pacheco, and follows NRVIA standards of practice, with RVTAA certification as well, both worth asking about if you are buying a used rig and want a report you can trust before signing.

This is a good fit for someone buying or selling an RV in Southern California who wants a certified pre-purchase inspection, or an owner dealing with a balky slide-out, a tank sensor that will not read right, or seasonal prep, who would rather have a tech come to the storage lot or driveway than haul the rig somewhere.
