Do you still need to license the camper when hauling it on a trailer?

Ok everyone asked to see the Jeep on the trailer. Now I am going to look into getting a rail or at least a wheel chock for the bike before I try loading it.

So here it is just sitting on the trailer.

The truck is sitting pretty level so I am going to see how it handles without the air bags.

if you can I'd get that jeep alittle farther forward...But other than that you are a lucky sob..:awesomework:

Besides a motor coach with a fully enclosed trailer, i think that's one of the sweetest set ups i've seen:awesomework:

Mike,
Yep my plans are for the camper to stay on permently. Like I said in an earlier post, I am going to lower it about 3" sometime soon before I build the side boxes. If I drop it that much then the bumper will sit flat on the trailer deck. I am stoked about how it turned out. Can't wait to try it out.

I think once it is fastened to the trailer, you do not have to license the camper anymore. :eeek:

Yeup, I bet you will then have to have the trailer inspected and licensed as an RV.

I assume you are referring to the other thread on toy haulers...how important is the "blue" state of washington sticker? An enclosed trailer with living quarters could be licensed as a RV, but I don't think Wildman's gooseneck would qualify...pretty sure the state wants to collect $$$ on both the trailer & camper.

I don't think any cop would notice if it was licensed or not. :redneck:

Anthony1 · May 15, 2008

I have a very simular setup except my trailer is a little longer. I still license the camper because of the simple fact its one less thing for the cops to hassle me about. Looks sweet:awesomework: and I love my setup
