This is a major cause for concern for us as we have a truck camper. If we were to get a 10 year TIP for the camper ( which we have had to get once before)would this solve the problem?
Jerry you can get away with the 10 year permit if you do it on line. Use the VIN number of the truck. It worked for me the year I borrowed my sister in laws camper, even though the same truck had previously been in under a 180 day permit several times. I canclled it and the follwoing year registered the truck 180 day while i towed a trailer. If you feel a bit nevous take the jacks off and chuck them inside when you cross. Probably not a good idea to drive the truck around too much with the camper off.
Thanks for the info Tequila. Do you have a link for the 10 year permit? Also what happens if the camper is sold in Canada and has a 10 year permit?
