Magnolia State RV Services is a mobile RV inspection and service business based in east central Mississippi. Andy and Melinda Smith own it, and as mobile RV inspectors and technicians, they come to you, so you never have to haul the RV anywhere to get it looked at. They serve east central and south Mississippi.
The main work here is pre-purchase inspection: a 44-point check following NRVIA Standards of Practice that covers the roof, the underside, the interior and every system on the rig, so you know what you are buying before you sign. They also do fluid analysis on the RV or tow vehicle, black and grey tank cleaning using hydro-jet technology from outside the RV, and a new owner walk-thru orientation that teaches first-time owners how to set up, tear down and run each system at their own pace.
No pricing is published, so ask about the trip fee and job cost when you call. Active, reserve and retired military save 10% on inspection services, which is worth asking about. Hours run Monday through Friday, 9am to 4pm, with Saturday on call, and they aim to respond to inquiries within 24 hours.
Andy is a certified and active NRVIA Professional RV Inspector and a registered RVTAA RV Technician, trained at NRVTA in Athens, Texas, and the business is fully insured. An NRVIA inspection matters most before you hand over money on a used rig, since it catches problems a casual walk-through will not.
This is a good fit for someone buying a used RV in Mississippi who wants an independent inspection first, or a new owner who wants a hands-on walk-through before hitting the road.
