With all the discussion about overweight trucks [1/2 ton vs 3/4 ton] and associated questions concerning registration of FWCs [ that thread reminds me of the never ending oil threads! ] I decided to check out what Bigfoot mentioned that he did not need to register his FWC in Oregon since it was a pop-up. So I Googled "camper registration in Oregon".
The Oregon DMV definition of "Camper" for registration purposes includes a requirement that the camper must be "5 feet and 5 inches in height or more from the floor to the ceiling at any point". That is a minimum of 65 inches in height; my Hawk is 59 inches plus another 2 inches at the very most for solar panel on Yakima tracks for a total of 61 inches. The Hawk does not meet the requirement for being classified as a camper in Oregon.
Hmmmmm....is a FWC in Oregon not a Camper?
Has anyone bought a FWC in Oregon [Oregon residents] and not paid any registration fees?
Not trying to stir the pot....BUT I feel over-regulated and taxed already.
Thanks,
Phil
