Re: California registration SUCKS!!

A.P. Thanks for posting that link. It says;

Whenever a camper is temporarily attached to a motor vehicle designed to transport property, the motor vehicle shall be subject to the fees imposed by this section.
I don't know how I get away with not paying WF but when I first took my '69 in in 1997 (?) it still had the original camper on it with special mounts in the stake-pockets with chains to the camper,also had front mount brackets going to the cab. Maybe the guy thought it was a permanent mount,and thus outside of this above section. I did have to remove the old black commercial plates and replace them with white non-commercial ones. I've never paid a weight fee and use it exclusively for hauling stuff. Never had any problems with LE either.
I had it initially inspected at the Chatsworth DMV by an older guy there.-Brian
