Mike just completed (March 2025) an 'Essential Plus' inspection for us on a new, Newmar Bay Star 3629 motorcoach that we are looking to purchase. All I can say is WOW! He did an outstanding job! He provided us with an extremely comprehensive inspection report which included photographs documenting each component of the RV and his finding. The report was over 300 pages and will serve as an excellent reference for us going forward. His meticulous attention to attention to detail identified the smallest of issues that most inspectors would have missed. Having his inspection report made it extremely easy for us to contact the dealer and have the issues corrected prior to us taking ownership. Knowing that this new RV has had an independent inspector go over the entire vehicle (literally from top to bottom) provides us with a strong sense of peace and comfort as we set forth on our travels. Mike's inspection is worth every penny, and then some. He is a pleasure to work with. I most highly recommend Mike.

Extremely happy! We were very pleased and impressed by Mike, his work, and his professionalism. We are first time motorhome buyers. We initially contacted Mike months ago to inspect another motorhome. Based on conversations and information from him (at no charge), we did not move forward with that purchase.
We hired him this week to inspect a used 2022 Winnebago Navion 24V. The inspection was performed at a dealer. Not all dealers were welcoming to inspectors/ However, Mike has a great personality and had great rapport with everyone at the dealership and there were no problems. His inspection was extremely thorough. He claimed up on the roof, crawled underneath, and inspected every nook and cranny. Prior to the inspection he answered all our questions and promptly returned phone calls and texts. He was very flexible with scheduling to accommodate all parties involved. The motorhome was located 2 or 3 hours from his home. Even though he got home late, he finished and email us the report the very next day. He followed up with a phone call after emailing the report. We purchased the Essential Plus Inspection and the report was 194 pages with lots of clear photographs. Besides uncovering issues that needed to be address, we now have a detailed summary of all our motorhome's equipment and systems. Well worth the money.
Most importantly, Mike allowed me to attend the inspection (other inspectors I had contacted would not allow me to be present during the inspection.) We could not have asked for a better experience! 5 Plus Stars

I was impressed with the comprehensive inspection of my new Brinkley Model I 265 that Mike provided in March 2025. Thankfully, the results of his detailed inspection revealed only minor issues that he immediately brought to the attention of the RV dealership's service manager. I appreciated his call following the inspection to review the results of the inspection and I was quite impressed with the detail the inspection report that he provided. Mike called the following day after I received his report to provide further insight into his findings. I would absolutely recommend Mike, and I would certainly call him again of any service/inspection was needed in the future.

I had a CT RV dealer take advantage and sell me a rotted RV that was unsafe to use, after a year we agreed on a trade and I found Mike who I hired to inspect the optional trade RV. He was extremely thorough and kind. He put my mind at ease and it is worth every penny to have an RV independently inspected whether it's used or new! Don't get taken advantage of like me, hire Mike the first time around!!!

It is March 2025, and we are looking at a used 2016 Coachmen Prism 2150 LE on a Mercedes Benz Diesel chassis. The unit came from Texas and is now located at a Blue Compass dealership. This is our first RV purchase, and we needed professional help to figure out whether this unit advertised as being in an "amazing condition" was really anywhere close to that claim. Mike added the expertise we were lacking to the process, identified four major issues and a raft of minor ones, and gave us lots of material to use in negotiations with the dealership. We don't know whether the dealership will be willing to fix these issues and whether we'll end up purchasing this RV. We do know that investing the cost of Mike's inspection to make sure that our potential $45 K investment is a wise one is worth every penny. Mike, thank you for your thorough inspection and detailed report. We very much appreciate it.

Nadine and I would like to thank Mike for inspecting our new 2025 Jayco Pinnacle. He explained the whole process which would take 6-8 hours to complete. The next day we received a thorough 200+ page report on our RV. Mike is very well organized and detail oriented. He went through our whole coach top to bottom inside and outside. It was the peace of mind we needed while living full time in our RV. We were able to have our dealer fix what he found before we signed on the dotted line to take possession. Mike does excellent work and I would highly recommend him. Thank you Mike!

Robin and I would like to express our sincere thanks to Mike for providing the crucial information we had been seeking. He did an outstanding job reviewing our new Brinkley Z3400. We were truly impressed when we received the comprehensive 255-page report, which was both detailed and thorough. While he didn’t find many issues with the Brinkley, the few he did identify could have led to significant problems when we started our adventures in the spring. The report gave us the leverage we needed to get those issues addressed before finalizing the deal.
Initially, I wasn’t entirely certain about investing in a third-party inspection, but we’re so glad we made that decision. Mike was extremely professional, but what stood out even more was his personable approach. He listened to our concerns, took the time to explain the process and the findings in detail, and made it easy for us to forward the report to our dealer. I would consider Mike a true class act and highly recommend him to others. Thanks again, Mike!

We were super pleased with Mike's thoroughness and professionalism when he inspected our new Brinkley. Good communication and very detail oriented. He was flexible in getting the inspection scheduled and documented several items that we would not have known about ourselves but we were able to have the dealer address before we took possession of the trailer. His experience made sure any defects got addressed and gave us peace of mind. Absolutely worth every penny. Thank you Mike!

First time buyers of a brand new Class A and Mike put our minds at ease with the thorough and detailed pre delivery inspection. The communication was amazing and he explained the entire process complete with photos and extensive detail. He knows the RV business inside and out and the information he provided to us was priceless. The issues are being taken care of by our dealer before we take it home. It's everything we could have asked for in an inspection and we appreciate the attention to detail. Mike truly cares about putting you in a decent and well running rig.

Mike is a professional and great to work with. His inspection was beyond thorough. Although our motor home is brand new, he found a couple of very important items that needed to be addressed/fixed before we pay the remainder of our deposit and take possession. We consider ourselves lucky that he was available! We would definitely recommend his services.

Outstanding Inspector! Mike inspected our new 2024 5th wheel. We highly recommend him. He was very thorough and exceeded our expectations. He provided us an honest assessment of the issues that needed to be addressed and explained how to best ensure the dealer addressed them before we signed the purchase contract. Mike also gave us a lot of great tips to protect and enjoy our new 5th wheel.

Mike has been a pleasure to work with during this first time RV buying experience. He kept in consistent communication with us throughout the entire process. The inspection gave us piece of mind even when buying a brand new RV. His report was over 200 pages with photos of everything checked, I couldn’t have asked for more. This went leaps and bounds beyond what I expected and I will hire him for any RV purchase we make in the future. This was the easiest part of our entire RV buying experience he’s got a great reputation and gets the job done even if the dealership is making it a challenge. Thank you Mike!

OMG Mike is the best!. He just did a comprehensive, thorough inspection on the RV that I'm about to purchase. He delivered just what he told me he would and WHEN he would; a complete package, many pictures, great notes. Fortunately, the inspection revealed that the coach was maintained extremely well. The few issues he found were very useful in directing the RV dealer on addressing these before I plunk down my hard-earned cash on this huge investment. I'll be living in this Rig full-time, so I needed assurance that the rig will support my adventures! I feel very confident that I'm buying wisely. Fantastic Job Mike!

Mike did a pre-purchase inspection of a new class-C Entegra that we were planning to buy. I can't speak highly enough of his professionalism and the thoroughness of the inspection he did on the RV. He spent the entire day going over the unit outside, even in fairly cold weather and skipped nothing. He was friendly, polite, and took time to answer questions. As an engineer myself, it was clear to me he was competent and knowledgeable. He found a number of issues that needed rectifying, one of which alone was worth the cost of the inspection. I highly recommend him to anyone planning an RV purchase.

Waited for the 2024's to come out and went to the Hershey Show and found a 2024 Jayco Alante that fit all our needs. I had heard that Jayco had up'd their game and were now doing Quality Control before the RV's left the manufacturing facility. Our last RV was a 2010 Forest River Superlight and at the very beginning we had an issue with what looked like foam coming thru the Wallpaper on the slide and were told by Diamond RV that this was normal. Well it wasn't, it was an indication of a water leak. So, do I trust dealers or manufacturers, hell no. And seeing the issues that people have had in the last 2 years, I didn't want to drive off and have immediate issues. And then have to bring the RV back to be serviced and have it sit there for weeks. And like all dealers, the minute you pay for it, you become a ghost to them, so everything had better be working before you finalize payment.
I found Mike thru the NRVIA website and left a message. He was at the Hershey show and when he got back gave me an immediate call and let me know what the inspection would entail and the levels of inspection I could choose from. We set up the arrangements as soon as I knew the RV would be delivered to Pete's RV in Windsor CT. Signed the contract and made sure he was paid promptly and that Pete's would have the camper set up with Propane, Water and Electricity and that it is not winterized.
Mike spent all day with this new RV, he was impressed with the changes that Jayco had made but still found issues with the gas supply line to the water heater, the blinker for the left side was bringing the camera on and then turning off after 2 seconds. The Hot water heater was draining all over the ground and when they had installed the water filter, they had destroyed the O-ring, and all the compartment doors on the outside needed to be re-aligned. Either they wouldn't lock (driver's side) or were out of alignment. (a fingers width difference from the piano hinge to the opening.) Didn't need leaky compartments. And of course, the weekend we went out to do a test run we had over 8 inches of rain. And nothing leaked.
Just having the peace of mind when we left with the RV that even the minor issues had been fixed was a huge relief. Yes, this was brand new, but didn't want to get out on our first camping trip and have to deal with things not working.
Mike has a comprehensive list that he checks and verifies, including every outlet plug and USB connection. And even I questioned myself on spending the money on the inspection. But knowing that everything had been checked was well worth the money. A friend of ours bought an RV 5 years ago and he is a mechanic and pretty savvy, He did his first camping trip and there were 34 issues that he found that had to be fixed. He saw Mike's report and commented that if he had an inspection, he would not have had to spend a whole bunch of weekends fixing all the issues and waiting for the RV to be repaired. Next RV he will be getting an inspection.
Do I recommend Mike, yes, and if you go to a dealer that tells you that you don't need an inspection on a new RV. Don't even buy from them, go someplace else.

Mike did an inspection of a Heartland unit that I had purchased and was having warranty issues with. He was super professional, extremely thorough, friendly and above and beyond helpful. The report I received was organized, very detailed and included a ton of photos. He sets the bar high for all other inspectors and I would 100% recommend him. Thanks Mike!

GREAT guy, OUTSTANDING service!
We had Mike do a Premiere inspection of a used 2020 Lance 2185 we recently purchased. Given that we will be wintering it at our home we wanted to make sure that the unit was safe and that no gas lines came loose during transport from the dealership. I can't say enough about how thorough Mike was. He went over the entire unit, top to bottom, inside and out with a fine tooth comb. Each battery, every appliance, holding tank, drain, light, even every power outlet was tested! The peace of mind alone is worth the price, considering how long the inspection took (7 hours) and the comprehensiveness of the inspection report, is VERY reasonable! I was impressed with Mike's meticulous attention to detail, his patience with all my questions. He even showed me how to winterize the unit and repair cracks in the caulk around the skylights, which if neglected would have allowed water intrusion, a major nightmare waiting to happen! I really learned a LOT about our trailer and how, with a little preventative maintenance, we will be able to enjoy it for years to come. I would seriously encourage anyone considering purchasing an RV to have Mike do a pre-inspection. It could save you a LOT of money, not to mention headaches!

We are purchasing a brand new travel trailer and reached out to Mike to perform a inspection on the unit. He walked us through the process and performed the inspection. We were absolutely blown away with how thorough he was with his inspection. His report after the inspection came to us next day and was very detailed. Mike followed up with us to go through what he found and answer any questions we had. When we contacted the dealership even they commented on the time and effort Mike put into his inspection of our unit. We would recommend his service to anyone looking to purchase a camper.

Mike is super thorough and knowledgeable, we would recommend him for any rv inspections or repairs! When our dealer couldn’t get us in for weeks for a broken slide motor he came through for us. He also found some major concerns on a brand new 5th wheel we are purchasing that needed to be addressed by the dealer. We will use him for all of our future RV needs!

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Mr. Mike Polletta of Premier RV Inspections & Repair for an Inspection of a ‘23 Entegra Esteem 31F I was having built from the factory, and I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I was with his expertise and professionalism. Mike's attention to detail and comprehensive inspection process left me feeling confident and reassured about my purchase.
From the moment I contacted Mike, his communication was prompt, clear, and informative. He took the time to listen to my concerns and address any questions I had, putting me at ease throughout the entire process. His passion for RV’s was evident from our first conversation, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about ensuring my satisfaction.
On the day of the inspection, Mike meticulously examined every inch of the RV, leaving no stone unturned. His attention to detail was extraordinary, and he provided a thorough assessment of both the interior and exterior components, as outlined in his RV Inspection Report. His expertise extended beyond the basics, as he also examined the mechanical systems, electrical wiring, plumbing, and structural integrity of the vehicle.
During our post-inspection phone conversation, Mike patiently explained his findings, highlighting any potential issues and offering valuable recommendations. His ability to translate technical jargon into easily understandable terms made me feel involved and empowered to make informed decisions about the purchase. Additionally, his dedication to my best interests was evident, as he never rushed through the process and made sure I had a clear understanding of the RV's condition.
What truly set Mr. Polletta apart was his professionalism and genuine passion for his work. He exuded a high level of integrity and made me feel like I was in capable hands. Not only did he identify any existing problems, but he also shared preventive maintenance tips to help me maintain the RV's condition in the long run. It was evident that Mike's goal was not just to complete an inspection but to provide a comprehensive service that would ensure my satisfaction and peace of mind.
In conclusion, I cannot recommend Mr. Polletta's RV inspection services enough. His expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients make him a standout professional in the field. If you're looking for a thorough and reliable RV inspection, I highly encourage you to reach out to Mike. You won't be disappointed. Thank you, Mr. Polletta, for your outstanding service and for going above and beyond my expectations!

I had Mike perform a pre-purchase inspection of a Super-C RV I was intent on purchasing. I am completely satisfied and consider the cost of the inspection as money well spent. Mike was very thorough, the report was very extensive, and detail orientated. Although we were only able to converse via the phone Mike sounds knowledgeable and extremely competent. He took extra time to talk me through each facet of the inspection, his findings and ensured that I understood the findings. What he noted is being addressed by the dealership and providing us peace of mind. I’d give ten stars if I could. Thanks

Purchasing our new Tiffin Phaeton 44OH motorhome would not have been possible without the incredibly thorough inspection by Mike. The entire process from initially reaching out to Mike, setting up the appointment, and his detailed inspection process was nothing short of seamlessly perfect. This was the first time that I engaged a third party professional inspection service and could not have been happier. Mike is a true professional that takes a great pride in his craft and treats every inspection like he is inspecting his own RV. My advice to anyone thinking about utilizing a certified inspection service, do not hesitate for a moment and reach out to Mike - you will not be disappointed and the end result report will be the most detailed document you will ever see. His reputation with RV dealers is welcoming and respected and goes a long way in ensuring the dealer corrects all documented items. I thank Mike for his professionalism and thoroughness - and making the whole process a breeze!

Great overall experience with the rv inspection. Mike was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and helpful. Honestly, Mike went above and beyond what was necessary to provide great customer service. I would 100% recommend Premier RV for all your RV needs.
