Rick-Barkdull - NRVIA Certified Level 2 RV Inspector near Houston Texas

Rick Barkdull

NRVIA Certified Level 2 RV INSPECTOR

My name is Rick Barkdull. I am an NRVIA Certified Level 2 RV Inspector and an NRVTA Registered RV Technician serving the Houston, Galveston and Beaumont Texas area.

My Negative RV Experience Which Lead To Me Becoming a Certified RV Inspector

I purchased my first recreational vehicle (RV) while working in the seismograph industry in 1978, living and raising a young family while traveling throughout the Rocky Mountain area.

I later settled down in Manvel Texas and that’s where I’ve been now for 35 years. With the kids grown, my wife and I decided to hit the road again, traveling for recreation and relaxation.

We purchased a new RV in 2018. During the final walk through before taking full ownership, I over-looked a few issues which negatively impacted our RV experience. My new RV has spent 9 months in the shop during the first two years that I have owned it. I was so caught up in the comfort and aesthetics of the RV, I was blinded to the issues that needed my attention the most; and I was not a novice to RV ownership.

Let Me Give You Peace Of Mind Through My Certified RV Inspection

I set out on a mission to learn as much about RVs as possible. I became a Registered RV Technician, and a Level 2 RV Inspector through training at the National RV Training Academy. I apply this knowledge and adhere to the NRVIA Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice to help people with their purchases of new and used RVs with my RV Inspection services

Rick did a great job of inspection on our motorhome after it received damage. He was timely and very thorough in his work and gave us his inspection report right away. We would definitely recommend using him again.

We found Pioneer RV Inspection through NRVIA to facilitate an inspection of a new 2022 unit we are purchasing. Rick was communicative, professional, extremely knowledgeable, timely, thorough and meticulous. He spent a full day examining the 44 ft RV and spent some time reviewing his findings with me. He also discussed one of the more serious repairs with the shop manager while I was present. He provided a detailed interior and exterior report with photos and a to do list for the dealership. Had we not hired Rick we would have had issues almost right away that could have caused a number of long term problems if not corrected. Thanks to his inspection and deficiencies he found, we were able to work with the dealer to make the repairs prior to closing and before we took possession of the unit. The cost was fair, is protecting our investment and providing us peace of mind. We would not hesitate to recommend Rick and use his services again.

Rick was amazing. Not only did he steer me clear of a dumpster fire RV, but he did the inspection on the Rv I ended up purchasing and left no stone unturned. Had a perfect checklist of items to fix from his report but he also has helped me after the inspection with some tips and tricks as a first time Rv owner. Only Rv inspector I’d recommend!

This guy Rick was wonderful. He was so thorough and very helpful and took 8 hours (!) to inspect the new RV I was buying. He gave me peace of mind. I would definitely use him again. He did his homework and was prepared and followed up later. Highly recommend.

You should always get an inspection before you buy a house, and the same is very true of an RV or trailer! These structures have lots of individual parts that are all worth having an experienced professional look into before you make a major financial commitment. Knowing conditions upfront could save you thousands of dollars and more importantly time. I dealt with this service from a selling of a RV perspective and I liked the openness and transparency it provided between myself and the buyers. We sold a great unit and I was very happy to know that the buyers knew this going into the deal.

Rick was selected by a potential buyer of our coach. He was very courteous and professional in setting up a time to perform his inspection. He thoroughly went over every inch and every system on the coach. The inspection took about 8 hours. If we were to buy or get ready to sell another coach in the future, we would absolutely contact Rick at Pioneer RV Inspection.
