Travel Trailer License Plate Necessary?
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...

25 years LE and I know of no state that does not require plates. OK does not title trailers, but the do register them, that caused a small issue when I bought a boat in OK that was on a trailer. Boat had a title but not the trailer, need a notarized statement that the seller was the owner. It was titled to the new state.
Oregon doesn't require plates on trailers under a certain loaded weight. Most utility trailers, 3 rail bike trailers, some boats fall under that category. However, I do believe that an trailer sold as a "travel trailer" regardless of weight would need plates. Especially since the fee is based on overall length, not weight.
However, if a trailer doesn't require plates and you don't plate it, it can't be parked on a public street. If LEO sees it on the street with no plates they can (and I've seen them do this) put a warning, that it will be towed in 24 hours if not moved.
