In Utah its illegal to put the license plate from your truck on your camper.
The plate is registered to your truck, not your camper.
Its just like putting your plate on another vehicle.
However, in states where a camper is not required to have a license plate, common sense says, IF you cannot see your truck's license plate with the camper on the truck, then you should relocate it to the rear of the camper or another location where it can be seen more clearly.
I was told that in Tennessee it is actually illegal to put the plate on the camper. The law here requires tags to be "permanently affixed to the vehicle for which it is registered" so unless the camper is permanent the tag must remain on the truck. It is acceptable to put the tag on the front bumper but never required. The camper I had at the time hung out over 4ft and the holding tanks were below bed level so the only way to see the tag was to crawl several feet under the truck. I used it that way for years and never had a problem.
