As I am coming up on my 75th Birthday in October, I have decided to take up a new hobby. My goal is to find exactly the right RV Motor home and begin seeing some of the more exciting parts of the United States…

As it turns out, I have recently found a gentleman; Duane Lipham who is the most knowledgeable and nicest people I have met in the pursuit of my new RV Hobby. I found Duane on his YouTube channel and am completely taken back with his knowledge, expertise and experience with RV’s and the entire RV Industry.

I have watched all of his videos and each and every one provides a huge amount of information and sheds light on the pros as well as the cons of each area of RV ing….. Whether it is a simple question of best back up camera’s, safest tow bars or what are the best brands of RV’s..Duane is very knowledgeable and takes the time to truly help you work through this complex process of what to buy…the best value..and finding the RV that will accomplish your real objective and use.

Duane and I spoke on the phone for nearly an hour and when the call ended..I had to catch my breath and digest all of the information that he provided to me…. Every once in a while you meet a person that is truly a kind, smart and awesome individual.. and Duane is that kind of person…

If any of you are in the process of buying your first RV or thinking about upgrading to a larger “rig” or just RV questions in general you need to talk to Duane..I know that he will be helpful and give you the time to answer all of your questions and guide you during this very involved purchase.

Thank you Duane…looking forward to growing our friendship and perhaps will meet in person one day soon…

I just wanted to thank you for your help and the service that you provided me and continue to provide through your website and you tube videos. Your advice and help gave me so much confidence throughout the buying process. I got the trailer inspected and went through the negotiation process as you outlined in your book. I can't thank you enough. This really helped me navigate a challenging purchase process.

I first encountered Duane Lipham while searching for a new RV, eventually settling on a Brinkley I-265. Duane provided excellent advice and patiently explained difficult concepts such as towing and weight limits. He even agreed to meet me at the TAMPA RV Show last year where we discussed the unit we were considering. I thought that was very kind as he was there conducting research on new models and concepts. I have purchased several of his books and found them to be complete and full of excellent advice on the RV industry and specific models he felt were worthy of consideration. He even provided the updated version after his recent revisions. After my purchase, I encountered several problems with my new unit which I would send to Duane for advice on the best way to proceed. He was patient and provided excellent advice. I have come to rely on Duane for any future issues with my new unit. Thanks Duane!!!!!

Just need to let you know that because we chose to listen and invest in your booklet and podcast on RV inspections, we saved ourselves a huge headache down the road. The 2017 Fleetwood which we were going to travel 800 miles to buy had several serious issues that our inspector found within the first few hours into the inspection, so he is refunding half of our amount we paid for the inspection. So we canceled the deal.

Grateful for all your help.

WOW what a great experience!

I have been watching & learning from Duane’s Youtube videos on several topics on RV purchasing, maintenance, and MORE!

I am in the process of purchasing a used RV and downloaded Duane’s Ebook Inspection Checklist. This is an easy to understand guide on doing a personal inspection before hiring a Certified Inspection Specialist. This guide is so helpful and I feel armed with with the tools to ask the right questions, and what to look for initially. The Ebook comes with a downloadable checklist that I can print and take with me to every RV potential, and he goes deeper into topics which accompanies the checklist!

Once I had found a potential RV, I reached out to Duane by email with my additional questions and sent him the link to the RV post. With my surprise & delight, Duane contacted me by phone within hours of my email to him! Duane took time to review everything I had inquiries about and get to know me and what I was looking for! He is extremely kind, honest, and helpful! I felt very taken care of and it was clear that it is important to Duane that his customers get the best support for making the right decision on everything RV!!

Thank you, Duane, for your support! I am looking forward to working with you again soon!

After finding you website and You Tube channel I have watched multiple videos and gained a great amount of new information. My wife and I are in the process of buying our first motorized RV as we have pulled self contained horse trailers for years and now making the switch.

I purchased and read your eBook "How to Avoid Buying and RV Money Pit" and armed with the info and and detailed checklist we headed out to view a prospective rig we WERE interested in this past week. I say WERE interested in, with your checklist we chose to pass on the unit due to failure of a few major items plus the dealer was hesitant allowing us to bring in a certified inspector. I probably could of pushed the issue but for us it became a red flag. By using the list we feel we can even do a better job performing a self inspection of RV's going forward.

I am an old school guy and really enjoy having verbal conversations vs the technology type of communicating, Duane took his time to reach out to me on the phone and answer a basic question I requested. He not only answered my question but he was extremely willing to expand out conversation to many areas of RVing. In todays fast moving world actually talking to someone is rare but Duane took his time to make the call and not just send an email back and move on, for me this is a rare trait. I gained a great deal of information from Duane and honestly feel I gained not only an experienced source of information but a friend that hopefully I will meet in a campground somewhere down the road, sit across a fire pit and share stories with.

In my opinion Duane is the real deal and I hope to continue to learn from his experience in the RV world.

My wife and I have been in the market for a Class A motorhome for the last 2.5 years. Being new to RV lifestyle and traveling we were overwhelmed with all the information available online and the various Youtube channels of RVers. Until we happened upon Duane, the RV Inspector on Youtube. His videos have become our go-to source of what to look for when we do finally make our purchase - top models, gas vs. diesel, size, and questions to ask before making such a major purchase. His suggestions about obtaining the right inspection are valuable too. He has also been gracious responding to our emails and answering our questions. We trust his online content and recommend anyone looking to explore RV living or travel to check out his online and digital materials. You won't be disappointed.
