We recently 45 days ago to be exact purchased a MVP 19rbs. I've been waiting for the registration paper work to get the plates. Today I went to the county web site to see what I had to do to get extended temporary plates. I had to go back to the lender to find out what was going on. They stated that the state is not recognizing the manufacturer of the motor-home. Really? Granted they are no longer in business but to say my RV is non existent. I will be able to get another 45 day temp plate but after that; Hopefully it will be cleared up soon.
A little more info would be helpful. Was this motor home titled and licensed in another state? Was it "rebuilt" or altered in any way? Was it ever registered in the state of Florida? I ask because I am aware of a person who purchased a motor home from someone in Kentucky which was originally titled in Florida where it was "damaged" and repaired. Problem was there was an outfit that was committing insurance fraud and as a result, Florida voided all titles, including reconstructed ones, associated with the outfit which effectively made any vehicle owned by the outfit invalid. Apparently, some states do not issue titles for RVs, TTs, or other types of trailers so when you go to transfer in other states, a vehicle coming from such a state must have a certificate of origin or proof that it was once titled in another state. Well, it is my understanding that Kentucky either did not issue title at the time or was not reciprocal participant in some nation system so when he went to titled in Pennsylvania, it was discovered that it was one of the voided Florida vehicles. There is a little more to the story but this could be something similar if DMV is not recognizing the manufacture. Regardless, I hope you get your mess straighten out.
