Fargoman Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 We live in Shasta County in Northern California, and will be taking delivery of our LE2 in September 2021. For those (few) Ollie owners in California, what was your experience in registering the trailer with the DMV like? I was told by an agent at our local AAA office that in addition to processing any paperwork, the trailer would have to be brought to a DMV office for inspection. Thanks for any feedback. 2021 Legacy Elite 2 Twin Bed | Hull Number 894 (9/16/21 delivery) | Ram 1500 Longhorn 4x4 3.0L EcoDiesel 3.92 axle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRK Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I registered 2 weeks ago, new, in Ventura county at AAA. It took less than 30 minutes with a reservation, which was required for out of state, although California tax is pretty high (almost $5,000). For an out of state vehicle, I had to have the trailer VIN personally inspected by the AAA person. They need to see both VINs. The 2 labels were acceptable. Otherwise, would have had to take it to CHP. I stamped the vin in two locations on the frame after going to AAA My AAA did all, the registration, VIN verification and took my money. They reviewed the Oliver delivery paperwork, mainly the registration document. My AAA office, in Camarillo, has at least 5 people who handle DMV stuff i am sure an AAA in Redding would be able to handle it.

Ralph Mawyer Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Just as a data point. Texas out of state used trailer: Inspection ( only first time since under 7500 lbs) Weight Certificate Photos front and side Two state forms to be completed Title with signatures …will know if that’s enough later today. Some of this seems to be county specific. 1 2020 Legacy Elite II : Hull 625 - 2013 Lexus LX 570 San Antonio/Boerne - Texas Hill Country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fargoman Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Thanks for the information, John. Now I'm curious why my local AAA office told me they could not handle the registration. Update: I just called my local AAA office again - AAA offices in Southern California and Northern California are owned by different companies, with different rules regarding vehicle registration. 1 2021 Legacy Elite 2 Twin Bed | Hull Number 894 (9/16/21 delivery) | Ram 1500 Longhorn 4x4 3.0L EcoDiesel 3.92 axle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I'll be registering in September in Northern California (don't know which office yet). I'll try the AAA, but if that doesn't work I'll go to the DMV. I'll let you know how it goes. 2021 Elite II #841, 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4, 3.0 diesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewdev Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Maine was pay the yearly excise tax, get the tags, put them on the plate and go camping. Pretty easy and reasonable except for the first time after buying due to the sales tax. 2018 Oliver Elite II, Twin Bed, Hull #354 2024 RAM 1500, 4 x 4; Gas. 5.7L V8 Hemi MDS VVT Torque; 3.21 rear axle ratio Maine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray and Susan Huff Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 FYI: Oregon initial title/registration required: In person registration with proof of residency, certificate of origination, bill of sale, and of course $$$$. VIN inspection was not required, though this may have been due to Covid restrictions . For in-person transactions, an appointment was needed. This is actually a good thing, since I didn't have to "take a number and endure a long wait. Plates and tags were issued at the time of transaction; title took a few weeks to receive.
