    @Diego, you probably have options some of us don't.  Do you qualify as residents of 2 states? Do you have to choose between one or the other? Each state is different in regards to registering and plating a trailer.  Pick the one most advantageous to you. How are insurance rates and coverage in both states? Do you have to renew plates and registration in either or both states? Fees involved? Here in Michigan we register and plate the trailer only once, the plate and registration is considered permanent unless sold. I would investigate and pick the best for you, considering the convenience of having everything bundled in the same state, and the best financial arrangement too. 

    That being said, welcome to the forum and congratulations on your trailer! We love pictures here. The saying is "pics or it didn't happen", so post a few when your t@b baby arrives!

    @Diego - I'm not a legal expert on the matter, but with that "asterisk" laid out there, lots of snowbirds have to declare a residence in once place or the other. Sometimes that's determined by where you spend the majority of the year; sometimes it depends upon whether you own property in one state and rent in the other.

    The most likely indicator is probably found in what state your cars (in particular your tow vehicle for the T@B) are registered, tagged, and insured; I would think that's the state you'd want for your camper as well. 

    Congrats on the CS-S, welcome to the forum, and can't wait to see a picture or two!
