Registering new trailer

I do not live in Oregon but thinking of buying a travel trailer there. Can I register the trailer in Oregon without having a residence there?
  • The OP is in Florida. Do you think the Oregon DMV will accept a Florida address for a vehicle to be registered in Oregon ?
  • How would you go about coming up with an Oregon address for the Registration paperwork ?
  • Oregon would like that. I'm certain they would like the revenue.

    The state were you live and use the RV may not though.
  • I don't believe so. Many would like to as the annual cost is less than neighboring states.
  • You register the trailer in the state where you live. A lot of fulltimers 'moved' to a new state that is friendly for fulltime RVers, such as SD, FL, or TX, and once they have established a legal physical address through a mail forwarding service, then register all their vehicles, get new drivers licenses, etc.
