About Us

Jarrod Douglas is our Member, Certified Technician & Certified Inspector.  He grew up in Muhlenberg County.  His parents introduced him to Rv'ing at an early age.  One summer his family traveled to Eastern Kentucky with Jarrod's "Big Wheel" tied to the top of their Pop-Up camper.  Jarrod kept the camp hosts engaged as he spent his summers "camping."  His parents progressed through a Pop-up to a Travel Trailer.  Their first Travel Trailer needed a little "sprucing up."  Jarrod's dad was known to re-paint and repair vehicles out of his shop at home in the evenings.  This unit received some paint updates along with some interior upgrades.  Jarrod may have been more in the way than much help on this unit.  

A few years later, Jarrod's father found a 32 foot Travel Trailer that was nearly new.  There was one issue, a fire.  A fire had only smoked the interior, and damaged only one piece of structure.  On this project, Jarrod was a little more help.  "My Dad loved a good deal, constantly bringing something home that most folks would never take a second look at."  The refrigerator had caught fire and also had to be replaced.  All the metal siding on one side, insulation, and some wiring needed replacement.  This unit was repaired and enjoyed for several years by Jarrod's Family.  It was traded off some years later. 

As an adult, Jarrod, now married with a child, supported his father in purchasing a Class A.  This was far from a new unit.  The dealership had taken it in on trade.  Jarrod's father had requested to speak with the previous owner who came out to the dealership to assist with the walk through.  This is what we thought to be the beginning of several fun family trips.  This one, was worked on probably more than it was used. They could have benefited from certified inspection.  Although there was much work completed on this unit, there was also many stories of it's travels.  The electric fuel pump shorted to ground on a trip to Louisville.  Jarrod and his father cut the ends off of an extension cord.  This roadside wiring repair was used to connect the new electric fuel pump to the dash air conditioner switch.  This got them off the road to a safe area to make more repairs.  A certified inspection would have saved his family from many troubles, but then again, he would not have had the experiences with his father.  

Fast forward a few years. After several years of marriage to Amy, who he took to his senior prom, they decided to introduce their two children to camping.  Ashlynn and Amberlynn loved it!  Their first trip was with borrowed equipment.  Borrowed tent, dining canopy and some old items from the family storage and off they went to Hillman's Ferry in Land Between the Lakes.  The family was hooked.  When they arrived home, they began to accumulate their own tent and dining canopy, and upgrade a few accessories in preparation for the next trip.  As most campers do, they began to eye a potential family upgrade.  Jarrod being an experienced RVer with his family growing up, knew where they needed to be.  Amy, however, would have to go through the process.  Jarrod located a nice, older, gently used, pop-up camper.  It was owned by a father of a family friend.  He had just upgraded to a travel trailer.  This unit had been gently used over the years and stored inside.  Jarrod was able to do a few upgrades and repairs.  Exterior painting on frame, bumper and tongue.  Propane tank paint.  New marker lights all around.  New bungee cords for the canvass around the bunks. This unit was used a few times, but immediately the family knew an additional upgrade was needed.    

They made a "wish list" and began shopping for a travel trailer.  Their oldest daughter, Ashlynn, joined in the search.  She was searching eBay and discovered a unit in Corbin, Kentucky that fit the search criteria.  "Where is Corbin, Kentucky?" At that time, the family was watching the Travel Channel and Corbin, Kentucky was being spotlighted.  After a successful bout of bidding on eBay, the family purchased a Jayco travel trailer REPO.  They traveled to Corbin, Kentucky to pick it up and stayed in it that night.  It was far from new, and needed a little work.    

To re-cap, Tent, Pop-up to travel trailer.  Many folks progress through these stages.  This family, June, July and August of the same year.  after a few upgrades and repairs, another upgrade was spotted.  This time, a gently used 32 ft bunkhouse travel trailer.  This unit is where the family settled in for a little while.    

Along the way Jarrod, being a DIY kind of guy learned a tremendous amount about RV's.  Working on their units and helping friends and family with their units or helping them when they began to look for an RV.  He was always the guy in the group carrying tools and even a few extra parts.  This was in his blood, as it was something like his father would do.  Jarrod has assisted other RV'ers while on camping trips with Stabilizer jack replacement, tongue jack replacement, vent cover installation, toilet valve, power issues etc.  Along the way, he met novice Rv'ers and in conversation discussed issues, tips and even providing his "LIST" of accessories he used with his rig.    

Jarrod spent over 10 years as a state government employee.  In 2004 he left employment with the state to go into business.  He has been a licensed insurance agent for 20 years.  He as owned his own agency, and worked with other agencies.  He has specialized in commercial agriculture.  At one time he held licenses in 4 different states.  His wife is a retired state employee.  Since 2015 they have also been commercial landlords. They continue to run this company together in Muhlenberg County. Their family is active in church.  Amy and Jarrod  are both active in their community and Jarrod has served as a city councilman.    

Fast forward to near today...  RV Inspection Guy, LLC... After several friends and family getting advice and opinions on potential RV purchases or RV issues, Amy suggested that Jarrod look into opening another business doing something of the sort.  Jarrod had recently seen some information about the National RV Training Academy and some of the programs they offered.  After some thought and study, Jarrod elected to enter the Certified Inspector Program.  He traveled SOLO to Texas to complete a fundamentals course.  He discovered more than just RV knowledge.  A fantastic group of instructors, owner and administrators at this facility.  The first week was a fundamentals course that also yielded a bonus, a Registered RV Technician Certification.  A few months later he traveled back to Texas to complete the Certified Inspector Course and Certification by the NRVIA.  A few months later in July of 2022, he completed additional Training and passed the Certified RV Technician Exam.  He continued with an advanced class in RV Solar Install and RV Generators.  

Since the initial training and certifications, Jarrod has continued his RV Education logging several hundred additional hours of RV Training.  On two different occasions Jarrod studied at the Lippert Technical Institute in Mishawaka, Indiana just outside Elkhart, Indiana where much of the world's RVs are manufactured.  He has also attended Victron Energy's Hands on Training in Atlanta.  In 2024, Jarrod attended Victron Energy Training with Off Grid Solutions in Custer, South Dakota, along with training with AirXcel on their AquaHot Hydonic Heating Systems in Denver, Colorado.  Additional Victron Training is scheduled in October with the Inverter Service Center.  Follow our website or Facebook for updates.
