RV inspection in Massachusetts
Used and new RVs in Massachusetts need a close look before money changes hands. I have paid for two pre-purchase inspections and walked away from one rig because of what the report found. The state has three independent inspectors, and their average rating is 4.7. That is a thin roster for a place this size, so booking early matters if you are buying in Charlton, Amesbury, or Bourne.

What a pre-purchase inspection covers
A proper inspection goes far beyond a walkaround. The inspector should check the roof for soft spots and old sealant, test every appliance, run the generator under load, and scan the chassis and fluids for trouble. Moisture is the quiet killer in RVs, so ask specifically how they check for it and what the readings were. Major's RV Service Center lists roof and chassis work, which fits that job. You want a written report with photos, not a verbal thumbs up. Schedule the inspection before your deposit becomes nonrefundable. The seller's own mechanic is not your inspector.
Choosing an inspector in Massachusetts
The state has one NRVIA-certified inspector on file, at Major's RV Service Center in the top spot with a 4.8 rating from 329 reviews. Certification levels matter: an inspector who has passed both the core and level two courses has more training behind the report. StreetDelivery shows a 5.0 rating but only four reviews, and Bri-Guy's Mobile Repair sits at 4.2 from five reviews. Small samples tell you less. Read the actual reviews for how thorough the inspection was, not just whether the owner was friendly.
Book around the buying towns
The three inspectors here are few enough that you may be traveling to one. Buyers around Charlton, Amesbury, and Bourne should call ahead and confirm the inspector will travel to the rig or that you can bring it to them. Ask what the report includes: roof, chassis, generator, appliances, and fluid analysis are the basics. Get the written report in hand before you sign anything. I walked away from a rig because the report found problems the seller had not mentioned, and that is the money you save.

Questions people ask
How many RV inspectors are in Massachusetts?
There are three listed in the state. Their average rating is 4.7. That is a small pool, so book early if you are buying in Charlton, Amesbury, or Bourne.
Who has the most reviews in Massachusetts?
Major's RV Service Center has 329 reviews and a 4.8 rating. It is the only one of the three that lists NRVIA certification and roof and chassis checks.
What should a written inspection report include?
Look for photos and notes on the roof, chassis, appliances, generator, and moisture readings. Ask for fluid analysis if the rig is used. The report should be specific enough that you can use it to renegotiate or walk away.
Can I use the seller's mechanic for the inspection?
No. Pay for your own inspector. The seller's mechanic has an interest in the sale closing, and you need someone working only for you.
