Specifically-how do you arrange how to get back without a license plate.

I live in Florida and this past November I found the perfect Roadtrek for me at a dealer in Philadelphia, PA - 2,500 miles away.

I called the dealer, made an offer and after a little back and forth, got the price I wanted.

After paying the dealer with a wire transfer, they arranged to get a temporary tag.

To get insurance, I used the Progressive Insurance Online RV form, and signed up. All I needed was the vin number, year, model and mileage.

It was an easy and painless process.

If you are purchasing from an individual, don't pay until you visually inspect the unit yourself and compare the title to the vin number.

Then pay. Next, before you drive away, call your insurance agent or Progressive RV, and get insurance.

Then drive to the nearest DMV (every small town in Florida has one), and pick up a temporary plate. You'll need the title, proof of insurance and your driver's license.

After you get your temporary plate, and before you drive off, check the tire pressures. Most Roadtreks on the Chevy chassis will need 80psi in the rear, and 65psi up front.
