oscarpop2 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hi there. Can anyone answer this question for me. In May 2015, my wife and I bought a Newmar 42' DP. We live in the UK and come over to the US a couple of times a year where we take the RV out of storage and trip around for six weeks or so. We purchased the RV at a dealer in Maryland which is also where we store it. So here's my problem: because we live in the UK we had to have a US mailing address to initially register the vehicle, Escapees Texas came to the rescue and we registered it in Texas. However the RV will need to be reregistered in May 2016 at which time (I think) it will also need an Inspection Certificate for the registration. Currently we have no plans to drive to Texas and I'm unsure of the Certificate/Reregistration procedure. Do I need an Inspection Certificate? I've tried to find this information on the Texas DMV website but find it very confusing. Can anyone make this easy for me and tell me what the procedure is to reregister in Texas and how to get an Inspection Certificate suitable to reregister in Texas when I'm not in Texas? Thank you all in anticipation - oscarpop2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce t Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 No inspection certificate no registration. When you get inspected the certificate is sent electronically to the DMV. Without the certificate they simply wont renew your registration. Now a couple of caveats. First I'm not sure about newer motorhomes. I believe newer vehicles have a year or two grace on the inspection. Second getting it inspected interstate may be an issue. Who is qualified to do a Texas inspection in Maryland? My suggestion is to spend the money on a phone call. Call the DMV in Livingston and believe what they say and avoid 'speculation' by us well meaning folk!! regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
