State guide
RV inspection in Montana
Montana rigs cover a lot of ground, from Billings lots to the road into Gardiner, and a used coach here has usually seen real miles. Three independent inspectors are listed in the state, averaging 3.6 stars across a small sample. I have paid for two pre-purchase inspections myself and walked away from one fifth wheel because of what the report found. That habit is worth keeping.

Camping World RV Service - Billings
Camping World RV Service in Billings, MT offers RV repair, maintenance, and inspections, but has a 1.0-star rating from 2 reviews.
What a Montana inspection should cover
Ask up front what the inspector will actually do. A serious pre-purchase check includes the roof and every seam, moisture readings inside walls and around the slides, the generator under load, chassis and suspension, tires by date code, and a fluid analysis if the seller allows it. Certification matters too: an NRVIA inspector may hold Level 1 or Level 2 credentials, and Level 2 covers more systems. One listed business here holds NRVIA credentials. Get the written report in hand before your deposit becomes nonrefundable, and never hire the seller's inspector.
Reading the three listings
The state has three inspectors in the directory and none listed as nearby alternatives, so plan travel time between stops. Only one is tagged for pre-purchase work, and it is the strongest rated of the group at 4.9 from 54 reviews: I Know A Guy Mobile RV Repair and Inspections, which also handles roof and generator checks. Yellowstone Mobile RV Repair and Roadside Assistance sits at 5.0 from 27 reviews with generator and chassis coverage. Camping World RV Service in Billings has a 1.0 rating from 2 reviews. Small review counts deserve caution in both directions.
Big state, big distances
Montana does not forgive a rushed schedule. Book the inspection early enough that the rig stays available while the report is written, and confirm the inspector will actually travel to the unit rather than asking you to bring it in. Mobile service is the norm among these three, which helps if the coach is stored or parked at a seller's place. Bring your own questions about the holding tanks, propane system, and slide operation. Then walk the unit yourself after the report and match what you see against what was written down.

Can I get a mobile inspection near Billings or Gardiner?
Yes. The listings are built around mobile service, so the inspector comes to the unit rather than the other way around. Billings and Gardiner appear as nearby cities on the state page. Confirm travel distance and any trip charge when you call, since that varies by inspector and location.

What should the written report include?
