MilesAndSmiles Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 My wife and I live in New Jersey. We are looking at a used RV being sold by the owner in a neighboring state. If we decide to buy it, can anyone tell me how we go about registering it so that we can drive it home? 2004 Fleetwood Southwind 37A Retired and loving it! www.milesandsmiles.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjwicklund Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 You should be able to get a temp tag for a transit from the state where it is presently tagged. I suggest you call the DMV in that state and find out what is needed. John 2017 F350 King Ranch DRW 6.7 4.10 B&W hitch 2017 DRV MS 36RSSB3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Most states will allow you to drive for 30 days using a copy of the sales receipt that is dated. Some states will issue a temp. for transit, but for a cost. I'd contact DOT of the two states involved and ask them as they will be happy to tell you what their rules are.

BeckyIO Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 What others said: contact the DMV for your home state (and possibly the state you're buying from) and explain the situation and ask what to do. It will vary from state to state. When I was living in South Carolina I bought my travel trailer from an individual in Florida. The seller was nice enough to leave the Florida plates on the trailer until I got it home, where I had 30 days to register it and put my own tags on. I registered it right away though, so I could mail the seller's plates back to him. In Florida, the temporary tag would have been very pricey, so I saved money this way. Becky Life is too short not to spend it doing something you love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
