| I'g constantly browsing ads on Craigslist for the popular up I'm going to buy 'someday'. What exactly is involved in buying a camper with no title? Just a bureaucratic nightmare in getting information technology titled? |

| A slide-in camper is not a motor vehicle or a trailer that is towed on the route. Doesn't need a title. |

| Every state is different...I would bank check with your states DMV and see what the laws are regarding getting something retitled and then you would know if information technology'southward worth the hassle......at least call out a local cop to check out the vin number to brand sure it's not stolen |

| While a slide-in camper manufacturer may provide a serial number (and some don't), it's not a 17-digit motor vehicle VIN. Most states look at these as "cargo" on the truck, not a vehicle itself. However, some states practise require more than than a bill of auction ... my previous post was not correct for these states (where I've never dealt with their DMV'southward): "I. List of States that Require Truck Camper Registration II. List of States that Require Truck Camper Titles IMO, it's all about taxation revenues. I've built specialized structures for my pick-up's ... for hauling livestock, edifice materials, or a ane-homo loading capable boat rack with sleeping/storage quarters beneath the boat rack ... and never been bothered for any paperwork on these items. PS: if your camper rig blocks the license plate on your truck from view, you need to relocate the plate to the back of the camper. But if you take the camper off at a camp, be sure to transfer the vehicle license plate back to the truck when you're driving around. |

Designed to have a low profile while traveling, the upper portion is raised to create the full headroom living space when in use. I had an Alaskan make unit of measurement for awhile; information technology's claim to fame was that information technology had "difficult sides" compared to the soft sided units of their competitors. This created a amend insulated camper sidewall and was allegedly more bear-proof than the soft sided units. The OP didn't specify a "trailer" mode popular-upward camper as opposed to a slide-in truck camper. |

| Okay, definitely a pop upwardly trailer. some of the ads specify no championship, and some to have titles, so it is clear you CAN have a title on pop up camper. only exercise I NEED one? and if so, is getting i expensive/difficult? |

| Again yep you desire a championship....for a number of reasons... without a championship you can not prove buying......you may not exist able to register the trailer and become the tag....without the tag y'all tin can unremarkably not get insurance etc... again every country is different and accept their ain rules..... What I call up you will frequently find with many "no title" trailers is that insurance claims were fabricated on them and they were totaled per the insurance visitor and then were repaired.....about poorly done Many states will not reissue a championship on a trailer that's been totaled, others might.....again its up to you to do the homework based on your states requirements......me I would never buy a RV without having a clear title...You are just request for trouble Last edited by rtandc; 07-19-2015 at 08:00 AM.. |

| So how would I detect out if information technology had been titled, or totaled? Is there a VIN or the equivalent? |

A trailer will have a 17 Digit VN number plate installed by the manufacturer (or a state issued ID Tag # stamped into the frame if it was a homebuilt that was titled/registered). A seller should provide you with the appropriate paperwork if the trailer was titled/registered and had a license plate on it. Without that paperwork, you may still be able to get a title from a trace on the VIN and tracking downwards the last titled owner of the trailer. That may be the person who sold you the trailer. Or the trace may come with a deject/lien on the title trail which may not be easily resolved; if then, this is a trailer you'd non desire to buy. Otherwise, you may be able (in some states) to get a state issued "congenital past possessor" or "homebuilt" trailer ID # issued which you can then postage stamp into the frame (with number punches) and take inspected for that number. With that paperwork and verification of the number on the frame, the state tin can then issue a title and registration. It's generally non a difficult process and can be fairly inexpensive. The terminal trailer I licensed this way required simply a notice by publication to any prior owners under the original VIN number and trailer make/model description that I was applying for a title. $45 and four weeks worth of "legal notice" publishing (once per week) in the local newspaper of record, and so a ane month wait afterwards the last date of publication for any response. No responses were received, and my Canton Clerk then issued me the title paperwork. I had to postage stamp the frame with the new VIN number and have that "inspected" by a local law officeholder (I used a deputy sheriff at the office beyond the street from my county clerk/DMV part, toll $15 for that paperwork). Afterwards paying sales tax on the buy, title fees, and registration fees for the license plate, I was street legal and the titled possessor of the trailer. Of grade, any trailer you are considering purchasing without a title in the seller'due south name that can be transferred to yous should be priced appropriately for the hassles and costs of getting it into your name and titled. And if you're not interested in going through that process and the dubiousness, then don't buy a trailer without full documentation. In most states, a title trail on a "totaled" trailer will show an ownership trail from an individual to an insurance visitor. There are a couple of RV dealerships in my region that will buy these units and either part them out (some held for retail salvage parts, such as applicances or interior parts or body parts) or apply them as donor units to assemble a functional trailer. For example, a neighbor had his 28' "toy hauler" trailer sideswiped past a semi on a slick highway, a hit and run ... the semi driver probably didn't even know that there had been whatsoever contact. The trailer owner filed a claim with his insurance company, and they totaled out the trailer ... handed him a bank check for the loss (less deductible) and he gave them the trailer. That trailer wound upwards in the local RV shop/salvage yard and only needed 8 exterior panels and a couple of vertical structure members replaced. All in all, a very straightforward and simple drilling out of rivets to remove the panels or cut away of some bent structural members. New aluminum beams were TIG welded into place, new exterior panels were installed, the interior FRP panels were replaced, and the trailer was returned to service ... looking as good every bit new and certainly structurally and functionally sound equally new. But for a lot less money than a new one ... and this unit of measurement was only 8 months old at the time of the collision. Looked cute, straight, and clean, ready for many years of good service after the repairs. The bottom line is that y'all must perform a pre-buy inspection on any used road vehicle that you purchase ... car, truck, or trailer. If you don't know how to do this, then y'all're best off to have the unit to a knowledgeable professional person who can perform the inspection for you. Sometimes you'll need to accept a unit to an RV shop for their services, and so to a frame shop to check the trailer structure, and so forth. I've seen cute RV trailers with good accessories and clean interiors that had bent/failed suspension items (especially torsion bar axles) that would have required thousands of dollars to supercede the failed components. Sympathise that what y'all're buying in any used buy similar this is the "remaining useful service life of the vehicle". A title is a skillful affair to accept, but y'all'll not be driving the championship down the route. All that really counts is the condition of the vehicle and it's installed accessories ... and even one that looks clean and has a articulate title may take bug which do not justify the acquisition price.
