Yous get lots of advice from folks from well-nigh every state about what you should or should not do with trailers regarding a title. Merely do yous know the laws in your own state regarding titles? And would it maybe be prudent to brand a listing of title laws as they vary by state? Nosotros've seen folks saying to completely pass on a trailer without a title, we've seen folks who've said they didn't accept that hard a fourth dimension getting a title, etc. In my land (Maine), titles are non bug for vintage campers, menstruum. I've emailed the Secretarial assistant of State and they won't issue one fifty-fifty if requested. So this concerns me when I get set to sell my camper. People are then hung up on getting or having a title (sometimes warranted, sometimes non) that they may just completely laissez passer because I cannot provide a title. However, do you know what the laws in your land are regarding ownership a vintage from a non-title state? I'm very curious what each state say well-nigh ownership a camper from out of country, from a state that doesn't provide a title. Anyone want to chime in and listing their state if you KNOW the laws? Or is anyone willing to reach out to the DMV or Secretary of State or whatever state agency makes those decisions for your state and find out? | |

The best place for anyone who has a title question to go is to their own championship part. Anytime I have seen discussions similar this it becomes clogged with hearsay which isn't supportable when you're standing in front of the clerk at the DMV telling you otherwise. Don't mean to Pooh Pooh your idea simply title questions always turn into arguments. | |

As far every bit I know, every US state has their laws listed online. I've received different (sometimes apartment-out incorrect) answers from people behind the counter at the DMV or tax collector office (in my state the revenue enhancement collector can also issue titles/registrations). I went and then far every bit to impress out laws from their ain .gov website to show them. I used to be responsible for all vehicle/trailer/vessel registrations and titles for a large state agency, and then accept lots of experience in this area. But it doesn't take much to notice out what the laws and requirements are. When I bought my trailer it came with a championship, but it turned out to be for a completely dissimilar trailer. No worries, I just needed proof of weight, and in Florida if information technology'due south nether 2,000 lbs I tin can register information technology as "homemade", which I'm perfectly comfy with. I bought an old motorcycle from Georgia, with no title. Maine doesn't crave titles for vehicles older than 15 years (I call back), and they don't require residency to championship a motorcycle. Florida will title a motorbike from a different country that doesn't crave a championship. So, sent bill of sale to Maine, got a registration, took the registration and nib of sale to Florida office, got a title. | |

In fact, I'm having problem even finding the relevant code once more. Cheers Jerry Brown. | |

Equally far as I know, every United states state has their laws listed online. I've received dissimilar (sometimes flat-out wrong) answers from people behind the counter at the DMV or taxation collector office (in my state the tax collector tin can likewise issue titles/registrations). I went and so far as to print out laws from their ain .gov website to show them. I used to be responsible for all vehicle/trailer/vessel registrations and titles for a big state agency, and so take lots of experience in this area. But information technology doesn't have much to notice out what the laws and requirements are. This was kind of my point... sometimes even the DMV clerks don't know all the rules. I relied solely on the Land's laws, available online, then followed up with an electronic mail to clarify. I call back people get scared to buy something without a title, for fearfulness of never being able to get information technology legal in their state. Sometimes, information technology'south a non-issue, and sometimes yous have a harder fourth dimension ownership a trailer with an wrong title. | |

I've titled two that were purchased in-state that did not have a title, and I've titled ane that came from a state that did not require information technology to exist titled. I have documented all of the forms that are necessary, and the process has not failed me yet. In WV the key seems to be proving the seller's ownership and correct to sell. Also I've managed to find the absolute BEST DMV part in the universe. This office turns the image of the DMV upside downward. | |

If you buy in-state they make it actually hard to retitle a camper. But they have agreements with some states to accept a beak of sale (or two owners back) and event a title without an inspection. What states can I buy an untitled camper and retitle information technology with very little try hither? Who knows! Nobody at DMV will requite me a list and it'south not online. As for buying an untitled camper, if information technology'south a tardily 50s that's savable I'll consider information technology IF the price is incredibly low. Really depression. I mean really, truly depression. "I've managed to notice the absolute Best DMV office in the universe." The key to it all. | |

It was given to them with no title. And so wanting to exercise the correct thing they called the local judge to meet what they could do, the judge said "go see Glorida (proper noun made up because I don't remember the name) and she'll take care of it." Well, Gloria, who worked at their local DMV, gave them the "trailer" registration. This is not the same as a camper registration and if something happened to their little camper, who knows how it would get worked out. So anyway, they went with it. They did try to do the right thing merely even the local judge knew it was too much of a pain in the ass in FL to go it done properly. Florida - FLHSMV website: world wide web.flhsmv.gov/ where data is very hard to detect. You have to do a word search and hopefully it volition pop up. If you nonetheless can't find the information, you call the local DMV and they will actually walk you through and help you discover it buried in the website. No joke. As well, I would read the FL Statutes and take a re-create of the statute that y'all are trying to follow with you. Poquito | |
