I got title for my TC from Michigan, but nobody wanted to see it CA, so if you sell TC in CA you sell it just like bathroom cabinet.
Don't know how the sell of TC from CA to other state would look like, but I did register older, unregistered vehicles in the past and worse case scenario DMV will give you temporary sticker and do title research.
I am pretty skeptic about efficiency of such search. My friend got his contractor's trailer stolen from Bay Area freeway when he left it with flat tire. Even hitch lock did not help.
I heard from several sources that contractor's trailers are getting stole in the state on regular bases, so somebody is finding a way to use them without a title even when registration is needed.
They probably have permanent trailer tags so don't need to be registered every year. As long as the plates never checked then they are good to go.

I actually am somewhat surprised that you can get a loan on a TC in a non title state. After all, it's basically a non secured loan. There is nothing to stop you for offering it for sale on Craigslist for example and just writing the purchaser a receipt. Since they don't need to register it in any way it seems as though the trail can disappear in a heartbeat.
Like a stolen computer possibly if the new owner requests service work on it, the loan company could pick up the trail, otherwise it seems to me it would just disappear.
People are able to finance all kinds of things without a title. Financing furniture for a house can be just as much or more than a Truck camper. Not saying I would do it but a lot of people do.
Agreed.
Actually there are some real advantages to the way a TC is treated in California. Don't want to hijack the thread, so maybe I'll just explore some of my thoughts in the future in a new thread.
