The Radcliff Fire Department is sharing information about RV and camper inspections. “We assist the Manufactured Housing Division with doing the inspections for what we call a B1 seal inspection. These are required for any camper or RV that comes in from out of state. It could be a brand new one that was just purchased at a dealership out of state or it could be one that is maybe bought from a private individual or even if you are moving in from another state and need to transfer that title.” says Radcliff Fire Marshall Tommy Crane. The inspection is a visual inspection to check for structural integrity. A fire extinguisher, working carbon monoxide detector and working smoke alarm are required. The Radcliff Fire Department does require an appointment to do these inspections to ensure that an inspector is on site.
