YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO FIND A DIFFERENT CAMPER!  This will work out.

Want to move to NC?  It's just like elisa said, you could come through here pulling a trailer with no plates (aka "tags"  hehehe)  and no one would bother you.  Sometimes you see something like "Plates applied for" on a cardboard piece but all that would be necessary when an individual sells a trailer is to give the new owner a bill of sale for "just in case."

Birol, I believe the best solution I saw posted above. I'd head down here with the Windstar all set up and ready to tow, go to U-Haul and rent an auto hauler trailer for one way rental to Ontario (they do have U-Haul up there don't they??) load the PU onto the auto hauler trailer, that way you don't have to worry about Mass tags as the U-Haul will have legal tags on it. Just grab the trailer & title, load it up on the other trailer, and haul it back to Canada!

 

Then again, I just checked the U-haul website, seems the auto hauler trailer one way to Ontario will cost in excess of $400 USD... Hmmmmm. There is a way to do this, so don't dispair just yet!

If you went the U-haul route could you return it to a U-haul dealer just back inside of the US and save the $400.00? If you do this secure the PU very carefully.

THIS IS A BRILLIANT IDEA-:S:S  

Maybe you could  jUst rent a U-Haul for a few miles--THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM necessary to get the PU to a location where the tag isnt important  and  maybe  Lee or someone could  drive the Windstar until the Mass state line (or wherever) and then you could unload the pu, find a place to drop the truck (maybe Lee or some other helper or friend  could even do this) Then hitch the pu  to the  Windstar and go home thru places  that arent as picky about "plates"

Keep believing Birol--some of this may sound farfetched, but eventually someone will  come up with information or ideas that will work!

Whew - I better tell my DH to get on here and post fast!  I don't think any of it will be a problem Birol!  We can't let you come this far for nothing!!  DH is sleeping right now, but as soon as the sun comes up I'll get him out there to reply!     No worries - I believe he will help you in any way he can!  Before you know it - you'll be camping!!

Maybe someone could even loan you a set of plates off of another trailer so at least you could pull it to the boarder.

[birol]

I have a set of license plates from my old car, which we did not return. I was thinking, if nothing else works, maybe I can just put one of them on the trailers back and make it to the border.

How would American Police offices would know that this is not the temporary plate I got just to bring the trailer ? In Ontario I would have to take them off of course ......

I am desperate

In a lot of states trailer plates have diferent sequencing of numbers and letters to differenciate between vehicle and trailer, or even car and truck plates, so someone might look funny at that.  On the other hand, just seeing plates may keep them from looking too close at all.  This has to be driving you nuts B, but please hang in there, we're all watching, reading and trying our hardest to think of something to help you solve this dilemma.   We'll come up with something yet, don't worry.   I guess we could call this Birol's Great Adventure.

I have got to check if the trailer plates are different in Ontario then Car plates ....

[MommaMia]

Definitely the cheapest and easiest way to do this the right way it for someone from CT to buy it for you, then you buy it from them.  If Lee can't do it, I can see if my father can do it for you.  He wouldn't even have to go to MA.  He just needs to go to DMV and get you the temps you need.  You'd have to pick up the paperwork from him, then you go to MA and pick up the camper.

[Jeffrey]

If it was me. I would not put plates from anything else on there.

That's just trying to deceive them, if you do get stopped they would just wonder what else your up too.

I would rather have all the title, receipt, and prepaid insurance reciept.

If you need something to put on the PU, just make a copy of your receipt and tape it to the back. Since that's all thats required for you at home.

Would the seller just deliver outside of MA, so you don't have to deal with their wacko laws?

[wiininkwe]

B, Jeffrey and Cindy both have good ideas, maybe the camper could be delivered to Lee or Cindy's Dad and they can have ct plates or paperwork ready for it.  Have you heard anything more about the title search?  Wish there was something that I could do, but from here, not so much.

I have to say, I think I'm with Jeffrey on this one.  As long as you have all of your paperwork, even if you did get stopped, I think you could prove your way out of this one.  I would also not go home through Mass. even if it means taking the long way home.  Get the pop-up and make a bee-line for the nearest border!  :sombraro:   Of Massachusetts, that is...
