Some want no pre inspections
One wanted total surprise for the real deal.
We even did a pre-inspection for a neighboring state cooperative.

I get a letter from RESAP about what is needed from the coop to verify. About a week ahead of inspection I send this to them.
If surprise they get it day of inspection first thing in the morning.
So far they have all produced the documents
