Go to Staples or similar and copy your plate with updated sticker and then have them laminate it use that on the truck camper leave the original plate on your truck
I mostly agree with the above advice .... but not with using a stickered plate. Just use the unstickered plate. That way if the plate is run by a LEO, it will show you're up to date (assuming you keep the registration up to date). A stickered plate replica means you'll be copying and laminating it again when that sticker expires.
I'm lucky as I have three license plates that all read the same. This came about because I have vanity plates and went to replace them when one rusted badly. I only returned the rusted plate and kept the one good one for use on the TC. They never asked for it back and I never offered.
In our jurisdiction, the current renewal sticker must be on the front plate so not having a sticker on the truck's back plate draws no attention (car renewal stickers are on the back though). When loaded with my TC, I have the rear non-stickered truck plate and the TC plate on the back. You really can't see my truck plate because 1) it is obstructed by the overhang and 2) my custom hitch extension covers most of the plate with an upper brace arm.
If I did not have the three plates to use, I would colour copy my non-stickered plate; trim it to size; laminate it with a little thicker material and buy/use a plate frame/protector when mounting it to the TC. Then fuggetaboutit.
