I like to unload my camper at the CG and go for what ever reason. I will need to remove the rear plate from the camper and mount it back onto the truck. I called my local DMV and asked if I could get a third license plate for my camper. The lady said "nope, they only come in pairs".
I was wontering what may be an easy fix, if any, for when I drop my camper and want to go. Maybe unscrewing the the two screws is no big deal and I am getting overly anal about making things easy. I was thinking of using my front plate (we have two here in Minnesota)but would like to hear from other to see if they have found a clever way of doing this.
Call me crazy, but I had a copy made by a custom plate maker and have used it for thousands of miles across many states.
The TRUCK is licensed with accompanying paperwork. The camper does not require a license.
First of all, I would have to be doing something wrong to be stopped. I could crawl under truck to grab the real plate and install it for the 'offended' officer.

You must have nerves of steel- it's illegal EVERYWHERE to duplicate a license plate!
While I understand the logic here, I'd sure hate to try to explain it to a Stater who was having a bad day or just didn't like the cut of my jib for some reason...
Maybe he spent a lot of time where they were made originally!
G'day, I have plate on camper made by professional sign writer. My vehicle plate is just visible to police officers, but camper plate, increases visibility and has plate light. I have never had a problem. Rather, I have been complimented, even though not strictly legal. I ensure vehicle abides by all state & federal Laws in Australia.

What I did... I can't imagine anyone with any sense would think this is a photocopied license plate.

I have a pair of wing nut screws I got from Auto Zone. The head of the screw has a wing on it and you can use them without any driver..most of the time I don't even bother to transfer to the camper. I have been passed by troopers who never give it a 2nd look...

When I remove my front plate to my front cargo carrier, I attach it with a pair of zap straps. I just cut it off when I'm done with the carrier. You still have to screw it back on to the bumper though.

i think its a good thing when our tc is considerd cargo,when i purchased my lance for a large sum of money,no sales tax,that was nice!insurance place had no idea what i was talking about,lol
I also dislike switching the plate. So, I made a color copy of the rear plate and laminated it. I installed it on the TC and leave it there. It looks the same as the metal one and I always have the correct one on the truck for when I'm not hauling the camper.
On my toad I have the electric and brake hook ups under the front license plate. So I have to remove the front plate every time I hook up and replace it when I unhook. I just ran the screws in and out of the mounted nylon nuts until they loosened up enough that I can remove them by hand, no tools required. I snug them down finger tight and they have never loosened up on me. Going on 5 years.
when i off load my tc,i always forget to put my plate back on my dually,sorry,distracted by san jose kicking my canucks xxx....my tc is considered cargo in bc
