Source for Pre-Purchase Inspection in Las Vegas

As in the title, I will be purchasing a coach and need a detailed inspection prior to concluding the sale. It will be private party transaction. I have never bought anything greater than parts and collision repair at any of our local dealerships. But my experience in seeking body damage repair has left me with a very short list of which dealers I might trust to dig deep and give honest answers, without setting themselves up to conduct repairs.

If my candidate coach has Cummins power (95% chance it will), I guess Cummins Intermountain could look into the drivetrain just fine. But those guys are expensive, as I learned with my marine generator, which they looked at with awe and dismay when I presented it in the back of my truck. Let's just say the techs were unfamiliar, but had access to the service manuals and parts, ultimately doing okay, but charging for every minute it took them to learn on the job and perform the tasks required (no labor flat rate). But I need full spectrum scrutiny, from roof and wall integrity to functional checks of every appliance and system, along with a good look at the whole chassis and drivetrain. A steer to a competent tech source for PPI in Las Vegas would be appreciated.

I've heard good things about National Indoor RV. I know they have a large service facility in Vegas, and I'm sure they can offer an inspection protocol that might suit your needs. Note that I have never availed myself of their services.

Good luck!

I have never used NIRV either but hear / read many good reports. I would think in these times especially they would welcome the business.
