The first time I ever put my first camper on my truck I tried the leave the regular license plate on the truck, and then take the front license plate and put that on the camper, where it is more visible. In california the registration tags are only put on the rear license plate. Several hundred miles later I was pulled over by the california highway patrol. I was told that the plate with the registration needed to be removed from the truck and put on the back of the camper. The officer didn't really care about the front plate not being on the front. I grabbed a screwdriver and crawled under the truck and took care of it right then. Yeah, I found out later that he was wrong, as described in a post above, but over the years I just figure the hassle of being pulled over isn't worth it so the plate goes on the camper, and I've never been pulled over since.
