Tim Schaeffer

Hello, thank you for taking the time to consider Blue Ribbon RV Inspection and Service, LLC.   We know you’ve got choices, that's why “We Try Harder” (yes, we've copied that from the Avis rental car company’s TV commercials of the early ‘60s).  We know that being comfortable with and having confidence in your RV’s systems and components is the critical 1st step towards achieving peace of mind so can enjoy your time and experiences in your RV.

It’s important to us to do the right thing. We firmly believe in and abide by the National Recreational Vehicle Inspector Association's (NRVIA) Code of Ethics and adhere to it’s Standards of Practice. Tim is both, a Certified RV Technician in Good Standing with the RV Technician Association of America (RVTAA) and a Certified RV Inspector in Good Standing with the NRVIA.

Over the past 20+ years, we’ve accumulated a trove of invaluable experience through different channels, of which directly transfers over to RV Inspection and Service.  We've owned, managed and maintained rental properties, so we know what to look for and how to identify issues before they turn into emergencies.  We diagnose what’s wrong and ultimately repair, or replace the affected components, if replacement is necessary. In addition to our rental experience, Tim has learned many hard won lessons from working through many hundreds of transactions with commercial trucks and vans Nationwide; sourcing, evaluating, buying, reconditioning, marketing, selling and ultimately delivering the completed vehicle to the satisfied End User; think cranes, dump trucks, garbage trucks, boom trucks, emergency response vehicles, etc.  So, whether it’s the Inspection of a new or preowned RV, or a Service Call, we can help you achieve confidence in your RV so you can spend your time enjoying life.  We offer several levels of Inspection for all types of RVs from Pop-Ups to Class A Diesel Pushers and customers.  We work with Dealerships, Lending Institutions, Insurance Companies, 3rd Party Extended Service Plan companies, Sellers and of course prospective Buyers.   Every Inspection includes a detailed report of the calls out, and is documented with photos of any areas of concern.  Some levels of Inspections include video of moving parts in operation, up to 100 photos as well as 360degree photos of the Interior and Under Carriage/Chassis.  Speaking from experience, we highly recommend Fluid Sampling and Analysis, (Oil, coolant, transmission fluid) for both RVs, generators, tow vehicles and Toads.  Some levels of Inspection include Fluid Sampling for both the RV and the towing / towed (TOAD) vehicles.

Service calls and Maintenance Plan visits are vital aspects of our work.  A/C and Heat Pump troubles, Furnace issues, Water Heater difficulties, please call us.  Yes, that means Black Tank stoppages too – it's a crappy job (pun intended), but someone has to do it.

Please check out what some of our satisfied customer have to say on our Google Reviews.

Thank you for taking your time to read about us.  If you feel as though we’re a fit for your wants/needs, please reach out – I'll (Tim) will get back to you as quickly as I can.  Text is typically best, 602-721-0812 in even the worst cell phone coverage areas.  A phone call is always welcome, of course, happy to talk with you.  However, please don’t be offended if I don’t pick up during the work day, it's nothing personal,  I’m probably in the middle of an Inspection or a Service Call and want to stay focused on the task at hand.

Hope all is well for you and yours - be well,

Tim
