I bought a motorhome in Tennessee and registered it in NC the day the computerized Inspection was introduced in 2007. Shops had to make a significant investment in the computer gear to do it and most truck shops didn't do enough motorhomes to bother. Even the truck shops weren't doing motorhome inspections then and many had turned in their license to do motorhomes. IIRC the NC inspection was similar to the federal truck inspection and so the only places initially qualified were those already qualified to do Federal Highway truck inspections. I couldn't find any of those who would do a motorhome, but a fellow forum member advised me to try the RV dealer in Hendersonville, NC. Took Monday to Wednesday night to find that out but I called them Wednesday and got an appointment for Thursday morning at 8. He did the inspection while I was in the store paying so I've always suspected the depth of inspection, but NC and I had our paper work and I'd done an inspection myself before purchase and knew all was well......
I sold that rig to a guy who made me an offer I couldn't refuse in January 08 and the next rig I registered in Nova Scotia, so that's my only experience with NC inspections.
