DMV clerk told me the rig had to go thru inspection, to verify the VIN. Got in line, then an inspector told me, (about half way thru the line), pull over to "re-inspection", if all you need is VIN check. DMV facility was under renovation at that time. Now the inspector wants me to turn around!!!!!! This is in a parking lot 40 foot long, and I'm 55 foot long hooked up. That was fun, and screwed up traffic there for about 20 minutes.

Years ago when we lived in CA I needed to register our MH. Was told someone from the CHP had to do the VIN inspection. Drove to the DMV office and was told, "We only do that on a specific day and time. Make an appt and come back and it cost X amount of $ (I forgot the day and how much it was). Mind you when I walked into the CHP office everyone was sitting around chatting and eating...did not look busy. But Joe Schmo had to do the look see and he was only there one hour a week for such things. Sorry I bothered them! If I remember right, we ended up taking the MH to the DMV in Barstow so they could verify the VIN. Let's make sure we don't over work them!
