Just to reitterate, in CA, the plate stays on the truck. No if ands or buts about it. The CVC states it. It's the law.
I went online and read the code. I still think there is a giant grey area here. I didn't find in the code anywhere that dealt specifically with converting a pickup truck into an RV which is what we are doing when we bolt down a camper, plug into the truck electrical to run turn signals, brake lights, running lights etc.
We are essentially creating a class C motorhome. For some it could be for a weekend, for others it could be forever. Class C motorhomes have their plates prominently displayed on the back of the coach.
People can do whatever they think is correct and certainly plates are more visible on some setups than others but the overall intent of the rear plate is to be easily viewed by law enforcement. So I mount it where it can be reasonably seen, on the camper using the license plate mount provided by Arctic Fox. I have never been pulled over in any state doing so.
