Do I have to get a federal inspection?
When I was shopping for buses I was told at the bus garage that I would have to get a Federal Inspection. ($75) I'm getting my title changed to RV next week. Will I still have to have a Federal Inspection or can I just do the general State Inspection?

Never heard of such a thing...fortunately The LAST thing we need is another branch of the Federal Government lending a helping hand.

the only federal inspections i ever got were crossing the border
twice
they unload the vehicle, lay everything on the ground, and they say, have a nice day.
