Covering rear license plate with gear
I'm considering a hitch-mounted gear rack that would obstruct view of the license plate. How do others handle this issue, please?

Many States require that not only the rear plate be visible, it must be
physically attached. Sitting in the rear window does not count as mounted.
Covering it will be an invitation to get pulled and inspected for equipment violations. Putting the plate in the rear window gives the impression of an improperly registered (plate does not match VIN) or stolen vehicle.
