inspection

I just was notified my 2025 ISATA 3 FW is being shipped. I am looking for a pretty extensive checklist for a pre delivery inspection. I know the dealers inspect everything, but we are leaving for a 3 week trip next month and I do not want to find out issues on the road like my last one (2021...

Its finally time for the inspection on my coach and I asked my local dealer that does my service work and warranty work to do the inspection and I guess they don't do that for DP's? Not certified or something. I am in the South Charlotte area. I always take my cars to my dealer and get the...

Hello, first time posting, first time RV owner, we are in the process of buying our first RV , we live six hours from the dealer that we are buying it from we are discussing and dealing mostly over the phone, one of the things the sales person told us is that we need to pay a non listed $2000...

Hey folks! We are trading in a 2008 GS Supernova on a 2022 Jayco Seneca 37TS. Our purchase is pending inspection, and my wife and I were wondering what common issues the Seneca has that we should have the inspector look for. So exciting! Thanks, in advance!

Hello! I'm sorta new to this skoolie group but I'm a long time lurker.. im trying to see if I can do a trade with someone who wants to trade me abus for my car. The bus hasn't ran in over a year, she said it's the batteries because it doesn't crank. Now if the diesel has gone bad and needs to...

As I learn more; can anyone from VA tell me if you must get your pop-up inspected every year? Recent purchase of HW277 (2021 model)- no inspection sticker on it, but at camp grounds I see others with inspection stickers. Is inspection only for Hard Side? If one should be getting camper...

Great news for folks in Texas! Effective 9/1/23 you can "self certify" your inspection in order to get your state registration for trailers >7500lbs. Updated state regs found here: https://www.dps.texas.gov/section/vehicle-inspection/88th-legislation New form found here...

I am transferring a 2014 teardrop form California to Ontario (already in Ontario - GTA, import paperwork complete). Now I need a safety inspection to register it in Ontario and get plates. The problem is, no matter which garage I call, they all say they can inspect a car, but not a trailer. It's...

Watched you tube video made by Happilyever Hanks a few days ago. They had a major water leak that flooded the RV from front to rear. Front storage bay on back. The leak was from Hot Water Tank connection. Came loose from vibration. Remember, driving down the road creates a earthquake shaking...

Last weekend on the way out to our campsite, a boondocking spot through Harvest Host, I heard a strange sound coming from the suspension just a mile or two from our campsite. Once we got parked, I checked the suspension and found this: We were about 200 miles from home on a Saturday late...

How often do you have the wear on your brake pads checked and what has been the experience of how many miles they last? Also, same question for the wheel bearing and grease. Thanks

Where do you take your motorhomes for the annual PA DMV inspections? I have always gone to my local RV dealer/service center but it seems the past 2 years they have been super booked solid. I called to schedule and next available date for inspection is November 7th...2-3 months from when I...

Hey all I have a couple questions since it’s my first yr doing the pre work for the next camping season. I have had my camper a yr now and was going over a few things to get ready for this season. I was going over my seals on the windows and other compartments and noticed that they were only...

We ordered a new 2022 Jayco Seneca Prestige in September and it's ready to be picked up. When I contacted the dealership to schedule a time for an independent inspection, they informed me that I would have to pay for one of their technicians to sit in on the independent inspection - at a rate of...

We purchased a 2022 FR Vibe 28RL last week and will be picking it up in late April. The dealer will be doing the full RV walkthrough to show us how everything works. We would also like to inspect it to make sure everything is working and in the best condition. Any recommendations on what to...

A few older threads popped up on self-inspections prior to taking delivery, but wanted to get some fresh comments regarding NRVIA PDI's on new coaches for new RV owners. It would seem a good idea considering we've never personally owned an RV and the overall cost of purchasing new, or even...

Purchased a used 2018 Thor Chateau 28z! So excited for adventures for my young family out of Calgary Alberta! Any thoughts on things to look out for when I do the final walk through? Also, I have a 30 day comprehensive warranty from the dealer that starts May 1 plus still under Ford for...

Purchased my 2018 Silverado 2500HD Duramax with 85,000 miles this past fall. I am planning on pulling my 35’ Windjammer on a 4,000 mile trip this spring. Other than the typical pre-trip inspection of the, lights, turn signals, air pressure, etc., I’m having the tires, brakes, rotors, and...

After 8 months on order our 1940ltd is at the dealership. I’m doing a “pre-inspection” to see if there is anything ( factory build issues) that needs to be addressed prior to finalizing the sale. Any tips for specific things I should be looking at would be highly appreciated!! This is our first...

We’ll, looks like we’ll be getting some new tires for the RV (2014 Georgetown 351DS) today. This is a view looking between the 2 rear right tires. The outer one has a pretty big bulge on the inner sidewall. When it goes, it will not go as a slow leak, it will blow. I was planning on replacing...

Hey guys, I’m wondering if anyone on here is in New Mexico and able to come give my bus a quick inspection before I take it on a long trip? I’ll be driving to Florida in a few weeks. I just want to make sure she can make the trip. I’ve got a 35’ International with a DT-466 and an Allison 545. I...

Hello everyone! We bought scoolie, we transferred the title on our name, tried to find insurance-no luck. It was registered as commercial. We are completely paperwork unprepared babies. Got anxious, and after procrastinating for a week went to back to DMV. "Hello we would like to change...

Getting ready to hit the road so it was time for the yearly inspection of the TT running gear and I found a couple issues. First issue, lug nut refused to come off so I hammered a slightly under size socket onto the lug nut, it come of but cost me a socket, split it. It's a Snap-on socket so...
