RV inspection pricing depends on several factors—type, size, age, and inspection package level—as well as equipment such as the number of A/C units, slide-outs, and other complex systems. For example, an RV with one A/C and no slide-outs takes far less time to inspect than one with three A/C units and five slide-outs.
