Yeah I agree they are asking too much.
A 3rd party inspection is understandable. But a 1.5 hour drive is, say, a 50 mile trip. At 10 miles to the gallon, that's 5 gallons of gas. At $3.50 a gallon, that's about $20 in gas. Plus they are wanting you to sit around while the inspection is happening. If we are talking about $40K for a sale then maybe I could see doing it. If we are talking $10K for a sale than maybe not. They can also pay someone to come to the RV and do the inspection.
I don't think there is much to be gained in bringing the RV to a repair shop in the hopes that it can be fixed "on the spot" as that is never going to happen. They won't have someone available to fix it and they won't have parts on hand.
If they want to learn about how to use the RV then after the sale I would be happy to teach them all I knew about the RV. If they want an RV dealer to teach them that stuff then they can go do that on their own time.
