PASSPORT Mobile RV Works

PASSPORT Mobile RV Works is a mobile RV tech based in Red Cloud, Nebraska, and it comes to you. It works on motor homes and towables, and its service list covers repairs, tank cleaning, inspections and fluid scan options. No service area is stated, so ask how far from Red Cloud it travels and whether it will come to your campground, driveway or storage lot.

Inspections are where the business is most specific. It performs NRVIA inspections that "hit MANY areas" and come with "a report of our findings along with pictures of the problem area(s)." If you are buying a used rig, that written list with photos is what you weigh before you sign. Expect a long visit: "up to approximately 10 hours for the onsite inspection and additional 8 hours to complete the report." All RVs "MUST be connected to electrical, fresh water and sewer" at the owner's expense, so have hookups available.

No rates are published, so ask about the trip fee and hourly rate when you make contact. Hours and a phone number are not published either. Reach the business through its contact form or its Facebook page, where it says it will "respond to your message within 24 hours." Ask about licensing, insurance and warranty, since none are stated.

Kevin Billinger, co-owner and manager, is described as "a certified RV technician and inspector" with experience in electrical, plumbing and mechanical work. Sherri Billinger, co-owner, handles the business side. The business lists RVTAA, NRVIA and NRVTA certifications and says "technicians and inspectors follow a code of ethics." That matters when someone you have not met is working in your rig and writing down what is wrong with it.

Google rates it 5 stars from 1 review. This is a good fit for an owner shopping for a used motor home or towable who wants a written inspection with photos before signing, or a traveler with a repair who wants the trip fee in hand before the tech comes out.
