Professional Association of RV Inspectors
Certifying independent RV inspectors worldwide.
Who is the Professional Association of RV Inspectors (PARVI)?
The Professional Association of RV Inspectors (PARVI) was founded by RV inspectors, for RV inspectors as an RV inspector certification body that prioritizes the unique needs of professional RV inspectors. Some organizations require inspectors to complete continuing education units (CEUs) focused on RV service and repair— necessary and valuable training more suited for repair technicians—PARVI’s certification process ensures that trained, qualified, and experienced inspectors can maintain their credentials without unnecessary expense or time spent on workshops that emphasize RV repair services and promote third-party support services rather than development of core inspection skills and best practices. Our approach allows inspectors to focus on what truly matters to RV inspectors: conducting thorough, unbiased, and professional RV inspections.
