Velos Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Thought this article may be of interest here: http://rvdailyreport.com/industry/sun-trust-recommends-rv-inspection-for-loans/ I am sure the bank is wanting to look out for itself but it could help a potential buyer from buying a bad unit? It may generate new businesses? It could increase the cost of loans if the inspections were mandatory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronbo Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Sounds like a conflict of interest. I am I the inspection business so I convince the bank that the rv needs to be inspected as a condition of the loan.

Kirk W Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 “Sun Trust Bank has now started to recommend RV Inspection Connection to their clients to secure a professional inspection report to meet Sun Trust’s loan requirements,” Jaros explained. They are not requiring an inspection, only recommending one. The move to require home inspections as part of a real property sale of a house came out of the consumer protection community, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. HMRVI Corporation is a privately held, family corporation with husband/wife officers and it is a for profit company. The web leads me to think that they are probably part of NRVIA which comes out of the Workamper News organization and was created by owner Steve Anderson as a part of his efforts to expand the business. Some sort of certification of RV inspection services for used RVs is needed to help the consumer know what they are getting, but it remains to be seen if this is the best answer. Many of us here recommend that used RV buyers get a professional inspection before they purchase one so this really isn't new, as long as it is a recommendation. I have no doubt that what they want is for all/most lenders to join in making a professional inspection a requirement to get financing. That could be a good thing in not only protecting the lender but also the consumer. But it is also true that an inspection does require additional expense in a purchase and the issue remains as to who pays the cost of inspection if the RV does not pass and receive financing?

oscarvan Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 "Surveys" which is marine speak for Inspection are required for ALL marine financing. Sun Trust does a lot of that. Seems like they may carry that forward. Previously a 2017 Forest River, Berkshire 38A, "The Dragonship". https://dragonship.blog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
