Transporting a new purchase

[Pete Masterson]

I purchased my coach from a dealer in Texas. I was given a
'temporary' Texas plate (actually a piece of cardboard). I was
stopped in Nevada by a highway patrolman who inquired about the lack
of a license plate and I showed him the Texas "paper" plate (that was
in the front window) and he was satisfied. He then asked about the
coach as it was an unusual model -- he admitted that he mostly was
curious about the RV... I drove through parts of Texas, Oklahoma,
Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California and was only stopped
the one time... (and had it been a more common RV probably wouldn't
have even been stopped then). I then was able to register the coach
with the appropriate paperwork (from the dealer) at my local DMV.
