Transporting a new purchase

[Gardner Yeaw]

Again, Thank you all for your input and experience.

From the many responses I gather that If I believe I am going to
purchase a particular motorhome privately, then I need to have
a 'state specific' plan in place. That plan may include an
arrangement with a dealer or possably just a visit to the DMV. I
want to be certain that there are no loopholes in the event of an
accident or other situation that may introduce lawyers into the mix.
I have spent a lifetime saveing and preparing for retirement and
I'll be dam$%ed if I will provide an poportunity for someone to take
that away.
