The state we live in does not require a license plate to be displayed on a travel trailer. We have it registered and have a plate inside the camper. We are camping in other states this summer - CO, KS, AR, MO, NM, TX. We are wondering if those states require the plate to be installed on the travel trailer?

I don't think you'll get a definite answer here, just peoples guesses and conjectures as the answers are state by state specific.Are you#1 Moving from you're state that does not require a plate to a different state that also does not require a plate and you're curious about the states in between along your route?In this case I would just drive it and deal with it at the time in the unlikely event you get pulled over,Or#2 Moving from your state that does not require a plate to a new state that does require a plate.In that case I would reach out to the Department of Motor Vehicles of your destination state and ask what you need to do to register the trailer once you arrive. Then make the move. Once moved, do what it takes to register and receive a plate in your new state.

This is your 1st. post since joining today. What state do you live in?

Why would your state give you a plate when you registered the trailer if they didn't want you to install it on the trailer.

OK You are pulled over for no plate and hours pass, searches, etc and then you are on your way. Why bother? Just put the plate on the outside.

That would be my guess. It's well established that you you have to obey all driving laws when in another state. Only your drivers license has reciprocity.

Be prepared to be pulled over by any cop worth his salt for no visible plate.

Put the plate on the trailer. It's not worth the hassle of getting pulled over and having to explain why you don't have to have to display the plate even though you have it. If a police officer or state trooper are following behind you they have no idea what state you are from even if they know your state doesn't require the plate. Even if if you wind up getting pulled over by officer Friendly, there are enough bad cops out there looking for an excuse to pull somebody over and jam them up, why give it to them.

I think this is the big question. Why issue a plate if it won't be displayed?
Hopefully the OP will tell us which state he is talking about.

I do everything I can to comply with my state’s law and with other states’ laws. Why invite a citation or pull over?
