So much for stealth

^^ Yes, it matters to us too. That's one of the things we're worried about - the New York Parkways... We did ask about a regular plate - couldn't do it as it has to be registered as a motorhome so that we will pay the higher yearly registration.

We do plan on parking in neighborhoods at certain times - not during the night - and I'm pretty sure that will be legal. For instance - we go to "Garden Walk Buffalo" every year. We drive around and park in different neighborhoods to see the different gardens. We want to be able to do that with our B. You know - bathroom breaks, lunch... Don't especially want folks walking by it and seeing that it is a MOTOR HOME. Don't want the folks that live there to have creepy thoughts that we are squatting in their neighborhood. ;)

When we go to Devil's Hole and other state parks we want to be able to park in the lot for the whole day while hiking without worry that someone will think to break in to the MOTOR HOME. That goes for all parking lots when we go on our day trips - which we will do a lot since we live in an area where there is lots of stuff to do within a few hours drive.


So...

I did use the idea of the license plate frame - thanks gbopp. The dealer where we bought our B put their frame on it - I blacked out the letters with their name and thanks to RoyB used a dremel to cut out the area that was covering Pennsylvania. The words MOTOR HOME aren't completely covered - but they aren't so blaringly obvious now.

Pretty happy now...

My state uses "Camper"... I told my dealer I wanted it registered with regular passenger plates - they obliged.

It matters to me - restricted parkways "passenger vehicles only". Parking lots along the crowded Northeast coastline "No Campers". Etc.

Hi pasusan,

I kind of agree given it's the creepy season, Halloween and all.

I would not want yours or mine, yours is maybe worse. Mine:

Thanks so much for the creepy responses O & G.

Happy Halloween to you too!

In other words......park legally and enjoy.

x2 ... what's the worry? Unless you're doing something illegal, why does motorhome being stamped on the plate matter?

In Minnesota there is no disguising the plate. Motorhome plate numbers start out with "RV 0000". Not complaining though. License tabs are quite a bit less expensive than regular automotive tabs.

You might look into personalized tags for the "MOTOR HOME" Roadtrek. Those may be a different format...

Our state had VIRGINIA across the bottom some years back and I had that covered one year way back then with a large tag cover. Got stopped for it one time (No Ticket) but was told to remove the large tag cover.

Maybe you can find a License Plate Frame that covers the bottom part of the plate but, leaves the other info visible.
