That's another false claim.

#2 is simply referring to a vehicle that doesn't require registration... therefore it cannot be "unregistered", but it certainly doesn't apply to a class C motorhome.

"Unregistered" doesn't mean what you think it means. Your unqualified claim that "Driving an unregistered vehicle is illegal in every state and opens you up to a citation and impoundment of the vehicle" was made before there was any mention of class C.

Mike... Please read exactly what you wrote here...

The State of Michigan says:

You do not need a license plate to drive a newly purchased vehicle directly home within Michigan within three days of purchase. Carry the assigned title and proof of insurance with you.

(you get a plate when it's registered)

And then please explain to me how that doesn't refer to a vehicle bought in Michigan and driven home within Michigan.

#2 Unregistered means EXACTLY what I think it means... It means that the vehicle does not bear a registration to drive the vehicle in the home state of the owner. Trust me fella... 15 years (and counting) as a police officer, 12.5 of which were served as a patrol officer enforcing these very exact situations. Mine are specific to my state, which is why I also included specific verbiage from the state's in which the OP would be driving.

I will cede that perhaps we weren't aware of the vehicle being a Class C motorhome at the time that you or I wrote those comments, however we both know it was referring to some sort of recreational vehicle, likely not a single axle trailer under 3000 lbs.

Would you care to provide your references and basis of knowledge for this topic? I have provided mine...
