If you're reading this review, you may be trying to find someone to do a RV inspection for you. Just contact Rick now. He helped us navigate the entire process. Just like you wouldn't go into court without an attorney, Rick knew exactly what questions to ask, what to look for, and helped advocate for us to make sure we got the right RV. He also taught us a lot about the maintenance and what we would need to do to protect our purchase. We really enjoyed working with Rick and believe you will too.

I had an outstanding experience with Rick at Pioneer RV Inspections. He spent several hours going through the RV I was looking to purchase and let me follow along every step of the way. His approach is thorough, patient, and incredibly down-to-earth. Rick caught issues that would have cost me tens of thousands of dollars, and because of his inspection, I was able to walk away from a deal that would have turned into a nightmare. That alone made his service worth far more than what I paid. He even checked all the fluids and took extra time to explain what he was seeing. Rick is one of those genuinely trustworthy people you’re grateful to have in your corner. I would hire him again without hesitation for any RV inspection. Pioneer RV Inspections is top-tier, and Rick is the real deal.

Rick from Pioneer RV Inspections was absolutely incredible to work with. He spent several hours performing a thorough, top-to-bottom inspection on an RV we were considering, and he allowed me to shadow him the entire time. His knowledge, patience, and transparency were outstanding. Rick is a down-to-earth, genuinely good guy who clearly takes pride in protecting his clients. Thanks to his detailed inspection, we discovered major issues that would have cost us tens of thousands of dollars down the road. His work quite literally saved us from a very expensive mistake. He also went above and beyond by doing a full fluid check and answering every question I had along the way. I would trust Rick anytime, anywhere with an RV inspection—he is worth every penny and then some. If you’re buying an RV, do yourself a favor and call Pioneer RV Inspections. You’ll be glad you did.

We hired Pioneer to perform a 3rd party inspection on a new RV we were purchasing. Rick did a great job. He identified several issues that needed to be addressed, and we received a comprehensive report (approximately 70 pages) with detailed information, photographs, and action items. The turnaround time was very quick, which enabled us to complete the purchase of our RV in a timely manner. Rick was also very kind and personable. We would definitely use this service again, and we highly recommend Rick and Pioneer RV inspections.

Rick was awesome! First, he was on time. Tardiness is my pet peeve. He made sure we understood everything he was explaining and would repeat if needed. He answered every question we had and went over items we may have missed in our questions. We are brand new RVers so we had many questions. He also has very reasonable rates. I wouldn't hesitate to call on him again with any questions I am sure we will have. Thank you again Rick.

Pat and Tony, thank you so much for the thoughtful review! It was truly a pleasure helping you both learn the fundamentals and preventative maintenance on your 2003 Coachmen Allure. I’m glad I could answer all your questions and make the process clear and comfortable as you begin your new adventure in Class A motorhome ownership.

Your feedback means a lot, and I appreciate you noticing the little things like punctuality and taking the extra time to explain details. Don’t hesitate to reach out whenever a question comes up — I’ll be glad to help anytime.

Wishing you many safe and enjoyable travels ahead,

We hired Rick to do a pre paid inspection on a motorhome that was in another town. Rick is extremely thorough with his inspection and very good at keeping his clients informed of every step. He helped us make the best decision for our motorhome. We heavily depended on his reports to make the right call. One thing to note is that while he's an extremely proficient inspector, he is not a mechanic. He strongly recommends if you have concerns around the mechanics of a vehicle to consult an actual mechanic. So if your main focus is to mitigate mechanical issues, do consider a mechanic that has the expertise for the engine of your vehicle. However for any other concern around the vehicle, Rick's report is going to be more than sufficient. It comes with photos and comments of the level of priority and other imperative details that will guarantee to help you make the right decision for your purchase.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! I’m glad I was able to assist you with the inspection of your 28-year-old motorhome and provide the detailed report you needed to make an informed decision.

Older RVs especially benefit from a thorough inspection, as age can often hide wear and tear in systems, structure, and safety items that aren’t always visible at first glance. My goal is to uncover those details so you have a clear picture of the coach’s overall condition before making a purchase.

You’re absolutely right—while my inspections are very detailed and cover all RV systems, structure, and safety, I am not a mechanic. For any engine- or drivetrain-specific concerns, I always recommend pairing my inspection with an evaluation from a qualified mechanic.

I truly appreciate your kind words about my communication, thoroughness, and reporting process. It means a lot to know that the photos, priority notes, and detailed documentation helped you feel confident in your decision.

Thank you again for trusting Pioneer RV Inspections—I wish you many safe and enjoyable adventures ahead!

We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to do mutual business with Pioneer Rv Inspections; we often have inspectors come by to evaluate for variety of RVs. However Our inspector Rick Barkdull was very impressive from his arrival to his departure. he was very professional, polite , patient, communicative, and organized! One thing that was very fantastic and a huge help was Rick followed up when he was done inspecting and left a very excellent mark. We appreciate that and him very much! We look forward to working with Pioneer Rv Inspections in the future!

I highly recommend Rick for your RV inspection. I bought my RV remotely and relied on Rick to be my eyes-on-site and thoroughly check out the rig before this expensive purchase. He produced a detailed report of all potential issues & also had some basic good advice for me as a novice RV owner. Easy to work with, great communication, & he went out of his to make the remote-buying-inspecting process go smoothly. 5 Stars.

Went through 2 inspections with Rick. The first was a total nightmare on the side of Camping World (yes I should've listened to everyone not to trust them) but Rick was very kind helping my through it and explaining things to me. It is my first time purchasing a trailer and I am learning on the go. Rick took the time out to send me some helpful videos and other info. 2nd inspection went a lot better. The reports provided are very detailed. Even the dealership said Rick was very thorough. Follows up with phone calls and/or texts as needed. Hopefully I am done with the RV inspecting process for a good while but I would recommend Rick!

I had Rick do a pre-purchase inspection of a 2017 Winnebago Vista. He set the inspection date and professionally communicated all needed information. He kept me in the loop on any potential problems on the inspection date and provided a comprehensive post-inspection report. I'm new to the RV world, and Rick gave me the peace of mind of knowing I was purchasing a quality RV. THANK YOU, RICK

Rick @ Pioneer RV Inspections was top notch. After corresponding with Rick a few times I hired him to inspect a Class A motorhome. We met at the RV and he explained everything about the RV that may need repairs or attention. Rick was very thorough in the inspection. After the inspection he sent a full report with pictures of possible issues. He even did a followup if I had any questions. If you need a RV inspected Call Rick!

Rick is very easy to communicate with & very accessible. He gave a thorough inspection of our rv before we purchased it. His report was very detailed & included pictures. The people at the dealership commented about how thorough Rick was. We highly recommend using him.

His inspection report was detailed, easy to understand, and incredibly helpful—I was able to present exactly what was needed to the repair tech, saving time and hassle. His expertise gave me complete peace of mind. If you're buying an RV or need a thorough inspection, Rick is the person to call! Highly recommend!
