Purchasing from another state question?

lkc001

If you purchase from a private seller in another state, what do you do about a temporary license plate while you tow your unit home?

Have you checked with the seller's state DMV?  This is a common transaction, I bet they cover it on their web site.  (Your state should, too).

I agree w/ @pthomas745 - check with your state's Motor Vehicle Department. I'd think they'd be able to provide you with a temporary plate.

I bought my T@B from out of state, (from a dealer), and didn't worry about a tag, just registered when I got home. I think the bill of sale should be sufficient.

I did the same thing as @Mouseketab.  Although I bought our trailer in the same state, it was registered out of state and had Minnesota license plates.  The guy took them off before we drove off with the trailer.  Had the Bill of Sale with us, of course, and registered our trailer the very next morning.

Dealers should provide a temporary plate so you can drive the camper off the lot. For private sales, you might be able to get a temporary transfer plate from your municipality. I don't imagine it makes any difference either way if you are bringing the trailer across state lines.

Of course, every state has it's own laws, so if you want to be sure you're covered do as others have suggested and check with your own. Either way, I'm not sure I would just assume that going without a plate is going to be okay everywhere.

I bought mine in Pennsylvania and went to dmv before it left the dealership

I may have wasted money by getting some temporary tags but I didn’t want to worry about getting pulled over

I believe dealers do a temp tag as part of the deal, that is specifically in my dealer price. Usually a 30 day tag to get you home. Private party you would be on your own to take care of that.
