Does anybody have any idea as how to run a vintage trailer license plate on a vintage camper? I searched all over the DOT Washington State website, and only found how to use vintage plates on Cars/Trucks.... Anybody out there got the skinny? Anybody running them?
I've never seen one or heard of one but if there is an answer these guys should know. http://www.tincantourists.com/forum/index.php?sid=11fc40bf7c0f0908133444050519f31d I think there is a rally pretty soon in Roslyn but don't know the date. Here, is info http://wenatchee.craigslist.org/rvs/1712726087.html And maybe a contact that might have info you are hunting. Also http://www.teardrops.net/destinations01.html
Kid Call the DOT, I have resurrected many an old plate, but i admit, never on a trailer.... Restored a few old trailers, right down to the matching Melmac, please let us know what they tell you.
I have been told you can not run vintage plates on a trailer. I tried on my '58 vintage boat trailer.
Get these guys to stamp the same numbers as your current plates. Carry the origianl plates in the trailer. If a cop asks questions change out real quick!! http://www.licenseplates.tv/washington-189.html?zenid=tubet3rjlpbruvc5iglppun3c2
Roughneck; That site is too cool. I heard something similar; but the other way around. Find a vintage plate, and get a new "custom" plate (personalized) to match it. Then run the vintage plate.... I will keep feeling out the DOT and see what I can get away with....
I went to the dmv about runnig a 1936 trailor plate on my mullins (which I found out was the first yr for trailor plates in Wa.) and they said I couldn't run it. I figured it was the loss of revenue on the yearly plate fees. What I thought of doing was to run both the plates back to back with the old one showing? Ho knows.
Several years ago when I changed ***le of my '47 homemade ultility trailer to my name they asked me if I wanted antique plate status. I won't register anything I have with a "special status" registration. My trailer is ***led as a '47 box trailer, with current regular liscense. I use it to haul all the time.
My old daily ran YOM plates cops asked questions a lot, but i hate paying money to the state, my daily right now is close to being able to run them, and it probably will as soon as it can
