Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

As many of you know our plan is to fly one way to Indiana from NY, pick up our Rig, and drive to the Rally. Two weeks later we will go directly to our seasonal site in Upstate NY. Should i request dealer plates from the dealer in OK, or can i register here in NY, Bring the plates with me. Thanks, Gene

I bought my trailer in Georgia and wanted it registered in Texas. I could not register it ahead of time because Texas required a certificate of origin, which is only issued by the manufacturer after the unit is built. I got a temp dealer plate then contacted Texas. They told me what forms, online, I needed to send in with the required fees and certificate of origin. It turned out to be a very easy procedure.

Interesting Process-----So i went to my local DMV, had my COPY of the bill of sale, and my original title. I told the clerk that i would like to register my new Motorhome, he said ok as he revued the documents. He then told me i needed the original Bill Of Sale< I left, called the dealer, they responded as if they had never heard of such a thing. "We Always Keep The Original" how about a notorized copy? I then went back to DMV, told them of my conversation with the dealer, they looked at me like i had 3 heads---"You Need The Original, why would the dealer not give you the original, You always get the original" MY Next call back to the dealer, they are overnighting the original, they dont understand why DMV wants it, but they are sending it. So my Dealer thinks DMV is crazy, and DMV thinks my dealer is crazy, and all this bull is making me crazy.. Thanks for the comments, Gene

Well, luckily the dealer is going to make his own copy for his records and send the "original" to the DMV. I think the DMV person is a little "off " in their thinking. Gov't officials many times can't see the forest through the all the trees.

When you go to a restaurant and you receive your bill, the original is the merchant's copy, a copy for you, and a copy to the CC card company, if you use a card.

A merchant ALWAYS keeps the original, no matter what kind of transaction it is. Bizarre, but at least it's taken care of!
