Texas Motorhome Inspections

[Ron Thompson]

Brad,
Yep, been there, experienced that. And there are still some of those around. In fact I have run across them in Hemphill Tx Sabine county where I have a Lakehouse. Matter of fact I have an antique 1983 Chev Silverado that I take up there to have it inspected because it does not have all that pollution pump and EGR valve equipment on it anymore. The old guy up there doesn't even look under the hood. But I went to a Jiffy Lube in Hempstead TX and they threw the book at me. Heck, you can't even buy that old pollution equipment anymore that I know of.

Ron,
Funny story: Years ago I used to wait to have myHonda Civic VXin Navasota when I wasworking achurch camp...because inspections out of Dallas were cheaper (no emission surcharge). The old boy on Highway 6 near the city limitslooked like Junior Samples. He said, and I quote, "gotCHINsurnce?" "Mesh y'brake, mesh y'horn." "Y'got inthang wrouwng?" And he slapped a sticker on the windshield. Probably couldn't happen quite like that today.

thanks Brad, but I am down near Houston in Waller County. I have a local inspection place that is big enough for this 42 footer. At least I hope they will do it since they are an authorized inspection station. They are located in Hempstead, Tx. the county seat of Waller co.
Thanks again for your inputs.

I had to drive mine with the inspector and hit the brakes hard. Also make sure all your lights, backups, brake and marker lights work. Even though you don't have to pass a DOT, if you have DOT features, they like to see them all work. I think there's one across the highway from Mr. Olivers in Princeton.

Ron,
We just had your coach inspected last Friday at the local gas
station. The cost was $14.50 and all they did was check the lights
and brake lights.

My 1995 WLWB 42' is due now for state inspection. I am northwest of
Houston in a small town of Waller, Texas which is out on Austin Hwy
290 Expressway.

and where can you get it done. I have never done this before with
this large a vehicle so don't know what the requirements are. Do the
Love's truck stops have inspection capabilities for Motor home
Inspections. Or do the Dept of MV's have Motorhome Inspection
capabilities. I have looked on the Internet for information and so
far have not found anything that I could decipher.
