On today’s episode, we meet a Texas-born couple who started RVing several years ago and opted to get training to become certified RV inspectors.
Bobby Greenwell and Jessica Martin started their journey into the RV lifestyle like many others – with a desire for freedom, adventure and more quality time together.
After spending nearly two years full-time RVing in a fifth wheel, they transitioned to part-time travel in a Class A motorhome.
But along the way, they made some rookie mistakes that ultimately led them to a new calling: becoming RV inspectors.
Today, Bobby and Jessica operate Double Diamond RV Inspections out of southern Illinois where they use their hard-earned experience to help others avoid the same pitfalls and make smarter RV buying decisions.
The couple didn’t set out to become RV inspectors. It just happened naturally.
After buying and selling multiple rigs, they realized how easy it was to overlook critical details when emotion gets involved in an RV purchase.
A simple online search led Bobby to the National RV Training Academy Their business, Double Diamond RV Inspections, was born shortly after he completed the inspector certification in fall of 2023.
Today, Bobby handles the technical side of the inspections while Jessica manages the logistics and marketing.
Together, they bring a personal, compassionate approach to every inspection, knowing firsthand the importance of getting it right.
Their business primarily serves a five-state area – Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana and Tennessee. They’ve found a strong niche in a region where RV inspectors are scarce, and they’ve even built relationships with nearby competitors to promote mutual support.
Their personal RVing experience, especially with boondocking and long-distance travel for ultra-marathons, gives them unique insight into how different rigs function in real-life situations.
That background, combined with Bobby’s technical expertise from a prior career in network engineering, ensures clients receive thorough, honest, and detail-rich inspection reports.
Jessica and Bobby named their business “Double Diamond” as a nod to both their partnership and their rustic, farmhouse style.
Although only Bobby is a certified inspector, they work as a true team, just as they have for the past 25 years of marriage.

Whether you’re new to RVing or a seasoned traveler, their story is a great reminder that, sometimes, the best opportunities arise from the lessons learned on the road.
