ALL motorhomes are titled on the YEAR of the Motorhome, NOT the chassis year. I can remember when Dodge went out of the chassis business in 1979. There were 1982 model titled motorhomes on 1979 Dodge chassis's. Doug
I don't think this is a true statement based on my experience here in Texas. I had a motorhome that was a 2006 built on a 2004 chassis and it was originally titled as a 2004. When I traded it in the dealer told me they'd fix that so I'd be trading a 2006 and they could resell it as a 2006, and they did.
Well, as someone who has been involved in the NEW sale of motorhomes in Texas for over 35 years, I am CORRECT. Your post does not make sense and makes MY case. If NOT true, how did the dealer FIX your title? The problem in Texas is, the Computer systems sometimes make a mistake at the County. You then have to get it corrected, which we do. As I stated, Motorhomes are built on incomplete chassis and the TITLE is on the RV model year, NOT the chassis. To correct another poster, Manufacturers do NOT issue or supply TITLES, Title are a Gov Function. OEM's supple MSO's (Manufacturer Statement of Origin) and it is up to the final buyer to apply and get the Title. There are 2 MSO's on a Motorhome--The chassis MSO and the RV MSO and BOTH are submitted to the Tax authority. THAT is where model year problems happen. Especially if the 2 years are different. Doug
