I just purchased my first motorhome and I'm looking for a good place to get my DMV inspection done in the Concord area.

Thank you

Have you checked Camping World in Chichester? The sell class A motor coaches.

A friend likes New England Truck Center in Exeter: https://netruckcenter.com/

I have no personal experience with them.

By chance do you know if they do work on RVs beyond inspections? Couldn't find info on their website but there was a photo of what appeared to be an RV on a lift.

Mechanical work, yes. House stuff, no idea.

How do I know this?

Just prior to a rainstorm our friend added some dry gas and stabilizer to his tank as a precaution. He got distracted by something and forgot to remove the funnel and put on the gas cap, finding that the following day. It wouldn't run. I calculated the maximum amount of alcohol we could add (he has an E15 engine) and we added it. It ran, albeit badly. Then we took a ride. It cleared up for a while, then started to misfire on the way back. My guess is that the dry gas dissolved enough water to get it running but then, as it was a warm day, the ice in the tank started to melt.

Long story short, water must have run off the awning right into his funnel and into the tank. They drained the tank and found about 10 *gallons* of water in it. They replaced the fuel pump as a precaution from freezing damage and the coach is running well again.

Anyway, you can always call them and ask.

Thank you for the information.

Another place several people talked about was B & B Auto & RV-Towing & Recover 603.755.9119

I'm not a fan of Camping World or RV One so I would rather bring my business elsewhere plus it's a nightmare trying to get an appointment with them.

Did you buy your MH from a dealer? I believe in NH that they have to provide it to you inspected. If not, and you purchased it in NH, then the current inspection is good until June. All NH motorhomes get inspected in June and not your birth month.

I can't help you out in the Concord as I'm in the Conway area. I'm somewhat in the same boat as you for inspection as my decades long dealer just retired and closed down their business. I'm still snowbirding in Florida and won't be back until the beginning of June.

No, my local dealers are a joke now that RV one bought out the one good local dealer. I saved 8K plus travel expenses by buying it in Atlanta from NIRV.

I took my motorhome to B&B in Farmington in 2020 for some repair work. I came away disappointed. The reviews had been positive, but my experience wasn't. They may be fine for an inspection.

Try Cold Springs Rv in Weare. They do inspections on motorhomes, that is I get mine done.

That's where we bought ours from

By the way, Northeast Performance Diesel on 101 in Wilton is good for state inspections. I've taken our Ford gasoline powered class C there a couple of times.
