Does My RV Need to Be Inspected in Texas? A Humorous Guide
So, you've got yourself a shiny new (or not-so-new) RV and you're all set to hit the open road. But before you roll out of the driveway, you might be wondering, "Does my RV need to be inspected in Texas?" The answer, as with many things in life, is maybe. Let's break it down.
What is an RV Inspection, Anyway?
Think of an RV inspection like a physical for your vehicle. It's a way to make sure that your RV is in good working order and safe to operate. Inspectors will check things like:
- Brakes: Are they working properly?
- Lights: Do they all function?
- Tires: Are they in good condition and properly inflated?
- Steering: Is it tight and responsive?
- Suspension: Is it in good shape?
- Emissions: Does your RV meet Texas' emissions standards?
When Does My RV Need to Be Inspected?
If you're buying a used RV in Texas, it must be inspected within 72 hours of purchase. This is to make sure that you're not getting a lemon.
If you're registering a new RV in Texas, it must be inspected before you can get your registration.
But What If I'm Just Driving Through Texas?
If you're just passing through Texas on your way to somewhere else, you don't need to have your RV inspected. However, it's still a good idea to make sure that your RV is in good condition before you hit the road. You never know what might happen.
So, Do I Need to Have My RV Inspected?
The short answer is: it depends. If you're buying or registering a new RV in Texas, you'll need to have it inspected. If you're just passing through, you don't. However, it's always a good idea to make sure that your RV is in good working order before you hit the road.
A Few Additional Tips
- Get your inspection done early. This will give you time to address any issues that are found.
- Ask your RV dealer for recommendations. They can usually point you in the direction of a reputable inspector.
- Make sure that the inspector is certified. This will ensure that they are qualified to perform the inspection.
And Finally, a Joke
Why did the RV cross the road?
To get to the other side! And to make sure that it was safe to do so.

P.S. If you're really worried about your RV inspection, you could always just bribe the inspector. Just kidding! Don't do that. It's illegal. And also, kind of unethical.
Now, go forth and enjoy your RV adventures!
