Beware buying an RV in Minnesota
Maybe someone from Minnesota can answer this. Anyone from there know what the current wait time is for a title transfer is? We just bought a used motor home in there and what the dealer didn't tell...

So as of right now if you buy a used RV in Minnesota basically you have 31 days to find a place to park it. Because without the title you can't register it, drive it or sell it.
This makes NO sense at all.
If you are "from out of state", you would present the title for processing to your HOME state.
The same DMV that handles the titles also handles the registration.....right ??
They know you have a valid title....because THEY have it.
I have never been in a state where they do NOT issue permanent plates once you give them the title for processing.
I think you misunderstand something here.
Now selling it again would be a problem.
The Dealer has the title from the previous owner, who signed it over to the dealer. You purchase used RV from out of state dealer, you apply for title to your home state via the state handling the transaction as they will collect all taxes and fees for your home state. If the state handling the transaction has a huge backlog or in this case, computer problems, you may have a significant wait time. MN issues a 21 day temporary tag, if the license plate is expired, otherwise you have until the plate expires. In MN, you are at the mercy of a State, whose Gov is confused about which bathroom to use.
