So You Want to Be an RV Inspector? WATCH THIS FIRST!

Thinking about becoming an RV inspector? In this real-talk convo with Mike from Cozy Camper, we cover the truth about workload, how much money you can make, what NOT to do, getting certified (NRVTA/RVTI), inspection vs. tech work, marketing & SEO, and why staying local often beats chasing work across the country. If you want a clear picture of the business—reputation, pricing, software, seasons, and dealership relationships—this is for you.

✅ You’ll learn:
• How to start the right way (credentials, insurance, website, phone)
• What first-year income really looks like (and how to set expectations)
• Why reputation - low prices (and how undercharging hurts everyone)
• Where inspections are in demand (and when tech work fills the gaps)
• Marketing that works: SEO, socials, and nurturing leads
• Report software talk (HomeGauge, SafetyCulture, alternatives)
• How to avoid the travel trap and build dealer trust
