WanderWise RV Reports is independently developed and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NRVIA. This page is for inspectors who are NRVIA-certified, working through National RV Training Academy (NRVTA) coursework, or simply evaluating NRVIA inspection software and want to know what the Standards of Practice actually require before picking a tool.
What the NRVIA Standards of Practice cover
The Standards of Practice run 44 numbered sections across four broad areas. On the exterior that means the roof, sidewalls, doors, windows, storage compartments, awnings, slide-outs, chassis and frame, steps, lights, and exterior electrical. Utilities and appliances covers 12V and 120V electrical systems, fresh water, on-demand and waste plumbing, propane, and the refrigerator, water heater, furnace, cooktop, A/C, microwave, and washer/dryer where equipped. Inside, it takes in ceilings, walls, floors, cabinets, furniture, and entertainment systems. On motorized units, a fourth area covers the chassis, engine compartment, and exhaust.
The SoP describes the work as basically visual: readily accessible components, inspected in daylight. Inspectors are not required to move furniture or stored items, access concealed areas or lift flooring, enter unsafe premises, or assess indoor air quality, and the inspection itself is not a warranty or a guarantee. None of that is specific to any software. It is the standard you are working to regardless of what you use to document it.
Running an SoP-aligned inspection in WanderWise
Build a custom template once that walks your fixed order through each of those areas, then fill it in using WanderWise's 190+ primary and 750+ secondary inspection points across 15 system groups, from Exterior and Slide-out Systems to Electrical Systems, Plumbing, Propane System, Appliances, Interior, and Motorhome Components. When something falls outside scope, a stored mattress blocking a wall panel, a locked electrical bay, a crawlspace you were never going to enter, mark the item not-applicable and put the reason in the notes instead of leaving it blank. That is what separates a report that documents scope from one that just looks incomplete. Run the AI-generated summary afterward and it calls out critical safety concerns and major deficiencies in plain language your client can follow.
WanderWise does not ship the NRVIA Standards of Practice text or an official NRVIA template, and it was not built by or with the NRVIA. If you want a report to reference specific SoP sections, NFPA 1192, or your own Code of Ethics language, add that text to your templates directly. That is the honest answer for anyone comparing NRVIA inspection software options: the SoP is a standard you apply with whatever tool you choose, not a feature any vendor can claim to own. See how a finished inspection reads in the sample report, browse the full list of inspection points by system group, or check the comparison with HomeGauge's NRVIA-oriented template if that is what you are evaluating against.
