X2, money talks and all others take a hike, take a 500.00 non-refundable deposit and acomadate them, otherwise someone else will buy it

I might see driving the MH to the dealer for the inspection - maybe they can't find a dealer that will send someone to your place. 45 minutes isn't that far away. But after that, they pay for it and it's all theirs. It would be very rare for the RV shop to have a service opening just sitting there for them at that moment and all of the work could be done right then. What if parts have to be ordered or if it will take more than a couple of hours to fix something?

The MH inspection is just like a house inspection. Unless it's something that doesn't meet code or legally needs to be fixed, the seller is under no obligation to fix it. The buyers are buying it as is, where is, though anything found can certainly be negotiated. Some buyers, especially first time buyers, think the seller is obligated to fix anything noted on the inspection report. Your (potential) buyers may need a little gentle education.

Think of the sale in terms of a home sale. It is the buyers responsability to get the inspections done not yours. Tell them to hire a mobile tech to come to where thr rv is parked for an inspection. Once money is changed hands and they have ownership it is up to them to get the training on how it works. Personally i would have no qualms going thru the rv with them and giving them a few hours of training after the sale is completed.

Thank you for reassurance. I actually already have spent several hours going thru a lot with them , but it has been over a year since I used it and took me a while to remember some things. Needless to say they were less than confident in what I was showing them. :S

Also they know nothing, and it will take a lot more than what I showed them for them to fully understand all the ins and out. I do intend to give them links all my trusted resource and video tuts I spent 100s of hours studying and used to gain confidence as a Solo Female RV traveler, but I feel any more time spent should be after they purchase.

I will approach this as you have suggested. Thanks

I agree, they are being a little greedy.

If they want the RV inspected then they either bring someone or ask you if you would go with them to a local place. You need to be there to supervise your RV.
They pay for inspection, but you need to see, have a copy on needed repairs. You may not agree.
If they want to pay to have someone tell them what you would do for free...let them. Some salesmen have no idea what they are talking about.
If they don't like your deal then they are not serious.
