RV Temporary Registration Not Acceptable for TIP

Temporary registration is for Americans. Canadians need a real license plate on their trailer, in order to cross the border, be it in a TIP zone or wherever. It took me a week and quite a bit of money to get Montana plates for a trailer while sitting on the camp in San Diego. Was cheaper than towing it to Vancouver and back, with GST/HST, gas, and other related fees, but doesn't probably make sense if you plan to bring it to Canada within the next 15 years (which I don't).
