About

Associated RV Services was founded on a simple belief that whether purchasing a travel trailer, fifth wheel, motorhome, or luxury coach, buyers deserve an objective understanding of an RV's observable condition and realistic expectations about ownership.

Our inspections are designed to document the condition and operation of the RV at the time of the inspection, helping clients reduce uncertainty and make informed purchasing decisions—not by predicting the future, but by providing accurate, professional information upon which sound decisions can be made.

Bill is also the Director of Training & Business Development for the Professional Association of RV Inspectors and has spent his career advancing professionalism within the recreational vehicle industry. In addition to leading Associated RV Services, Bill has developed professional certification programs for RV inspectors and RV sales professionals, authored several books on RV inspections, customer confidence, and professional communication, and regularly consults with inspectors, dealerships, and RV buyers throughout North America.

Drawing upon more than forty years in the construction and remodeling trades, combined with extensive experience in RV remodeling, customization, inspection, and professional education, Bill brings a unique perspective to every inspection. His philosophy is straightforward: the purpose of an inspection is not to create fear, nor to justify a purchase, but to provide objective information that allows buyers to move forward with appropriate confidence and realistic expectations.

A U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Bill believes professionalism is demonstrated through integrity, accountability, communication, and service. Those principles guide every aspect of Associated RV Services and have become the foundation of PARVI's educational programs and professional standards.

As a PARVI certified master RV inspector, Bill has inspected virtually every class of recreational vehicle, from pop-up campers and travel trailers to fifth wheels, diesel pushers, luxury motor coaches, and specialty RVs. Regardless of the size or value of the vehicle, every inspection is conducted with the same commitment to thoroughness, objectivity, and professionalism.

Based in Southeast Texas, Associated RV Services serves clients throughout the Texas Gulf Coast, western Louisiana, and surrounding regions, while also traveling nationwide by appointment. Clients consistently recognize ARVS for responsive communication, scheduling flexibility, detailed reporting, and a commitment to old-fashioned customer service.

At Associated RV Services, we believe that the best inspections do more than identify deficiencies—they build understanding. Because informed buyers make better decisions, realistic expectations create greater satisfaction, and confidence remains one of the most valuable services any professional can provide.

What a friend we have in Mr. Riggs! Mr. Riggs was very instrumental in the purchase of our very 1st RV. He armed us with a wealth of knowledge and saved us from making a major mistake in purchasing a pre-owned unit. Mr. Riggs is very knowledgeable in various makes and models and has many years of experience as a inspector and RV owner. He is very personable and answers all questions with clarity and much detail. Mr. Riggs' professionalism allowed us to make a very informed decision in the purchase of our Fifth Wheel RV, a 2021 Keystone RV.

I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of professionalism and detail that Mr. Bill Riggs brought to my RV inspection. He went above and beyond—checking every system, every seal, every inch of the rig with the kind of thoroughness you just don’t see anymore. He explained everything clearly, showed me what to look out for in the future, and made sure I understood the condition of the RV before making any decisions. His expertise saved me from potential headaches and gave me total confidence moving forward. If you want someone who takes pride in their work, is honest, and inspects an RV like it’s his own, Mr. Riggs is the one to call. Highly recommended!

We live in Tennessee and were considering buying an RV in Texas. Bill Riggs did a very comprehensive and detailed inspection of the motorhome. His report made it easy to see the motorhome had damage that would not have been obvious to me even in person. Due to his experience and thoroughness, we avoided buying what would have been a money pit. Bill was very communicative and spent a lot of time going over the report with me. I would heartily recommend his services to anyone considering a motorhome purchase. Thanks Bill!

I called last minute for a rush inspection on a new RV purchase and Bill was able to fit me in the very next day. The inspection report was very detailed with photos and easy to understand. Being able to read the report and create a list of items that need to be taken care that I was able to download and sent to the dealer. I would use Associated RV Serviced again on my next purchase.
