My state doesn't recognize my motor home

Sounds like state DMV's don't hire the sharpest knives in the drawer and probably don't train them well either.

It sounds like a Florida cluster.... to me.

He went to the DMV, that explains it all.

A few years back we bought a new motorhome out of state. We had 30 day plates to bring it home to another state where we had to title and get plates. I went to the DMV to apply for the title. It has to come about before a plate can be issued. About 30 days later I still have no title. The state tells me I have to wait at least 60 days before they will look into it. Finally 60 days and I call the state. They have no record of me applying for title. I must apply again and I do that day. Again I had to wait 60 days and no title. I contact the DMV again and they tell me there is no such Vin # and for me to contact the chassis maker and see what they say. I contact Ford and they verify the vin # is good and send me a letter to back it up. I take the letter to the DMV and they say they can not accept the letter as proof. They tell me I have to take the motorhome to the local police station and have them verify the Vin # on the motorhome. So I do that, take a form from the police dept back to the DMV. DMV enters the Vin# in there system and it comes back invalid. So the DMV now wants to see the motorhome. I take the MH to the DMV, they check the Vin #, at which time I pointed out there were more than one location the Vin # was stamped on the RV. They check them all and find they all match. Finally 45 days later I get a letter saying my title is being processed and I will have it within 30 days. Well in 30 days I still didn’t have a title and was told again I had to wait 60 days. Well thank goodness in about a week the title came and I was able to return to the DMV and get plates. I hate to think how many hoops I may have to jump through someday in order to sell it. Never did find out why all the problems.

Maybe your DMV will recognize it as the chassis it is built on. Most RVs are manufactured chassis the year before the coach builder gets a hold of it so it gets in the DMV records by Chassis manufacturer.
