    Note that when I purchased my coach new in 2008, we were in NJ..one inspection since from out of state and I was good for 5 years..I may be wrong but RV may be exempt from the truck diesel thing..I do know here I have to have the truck shop inspect once per year...inconvenient but not taking the chance of not having it inspected..besides, here they don't send you the renewal unless inspection completed and then electronically you get it.


    You have to get an Annual Inspection on a privately owned vehicle in NC?

    ummmm...I guess I missed that when reading from the New Jersey manual...to wit:

    "All heavy-duty diesel vehicles 18,000 pounds GVWR or more are required to be tested for smoke emissions annually at a licensed Diesel Private Inspection Facilities (Diesel PIF) within 90 days of your vehicle's registration or renewal."

  • Once a year...since the coach is new I wouldn't suspect you'll have any issues....just time and money.....Dennis
