Graves RV Services

Graves RV Services is a mobile RV inspection and tank cleaning business based in New Braunfels, Texas, and it is veteran owned. It comes to you, meeting your RV at your home, a campground, an RV park, a storage facility, a dealership or a private-seller location. It names New Braunfels, Canyon Lake, Gruene, Seguin, Schertz and Cibolo as towns it serves, and it does not state a service radius.

Its most extensive inspection covers the roof and seals, tires, running gear and brakes on towables, 120-volt AC and 12-volt DC electrical, LP leak testing, smoke and CO detectors, appliances, HVAC, slides and awnings. Tank cleaning is $175 for the first holding tank, $75 for each additional tank and $250 for a typical black and gray. Its pricing assumes normal access and a usable sewer connection, and severe clogs or unusual access may add charges.

Graves does not publish a trip fee, an hourly labor rate, business hours or a warranty, so ask about the trip fee when you call. A $59 consultation gets you up to 30 minutes of guidance based on photos or information you send, but it does not include a physical inspection.

The certifications are NRVIA Certified RV Inspector and Tank Cleaning Certified, and Graves has completed Royal Flush RV's FLUSH professional training for black and gray tank cleaning. An NRVIA certification tells you the inspector has been trained for this work, which matters before you buy a used rig. Graves also offers detailed reporting with photographs, which gives you something concrete to bring into the price talk with a seller.

This is a good fit for an owner around New Braunfels, Canyon Lake or Seguin who is buying a used RV and wants it inspected where the seller keeps it, or who wants the tanks cleaned before a sale or trip. It is not the call for a traveler whose slide-out is stuck at a campground tonight, because it does not offer emergency assistance or repair labor.
