Trailer: Compact Jr 1973

Hey Gang!

So, we are going to go get the Compact Jr registered etc.
We have never ever done this before!

So, I just read on the DMV website that our little tiny 12 foot CJ is considered a "travel trailer"
It says that the registration fee is $94.50 and its good for 2 years?
Is this right?

So- it should be straight forward to transfer the title from WA to OR?
We have it in our possession...it's free and clear and we have a bill of sale.

Do we have to tell them that we gutted it and are rebuilding it?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks tons!

The length is from the end of coupler to read bumper rounded up the next foot. If that is between 11 and 12 feet then the cost is correct. There'll also be a transfer fee and seems like something else. First time registration on my trailer was close to $200.

It shouldn't be a problem. Just take yourself and all the papers off to the DMV and don't forget your patience and your checkbook. won't help either.

Look on the bright side and the fees for the big guys.
I guess it's really not too bad. At $50/year it a lot cheaper than many other things, like using the internet and cable TV (which I don't have). I have my trailer a couple months less than 2 years and made 35 trips and spent 76 nights in it. I think mine $105 per year, which is a bit over a $1.00 per night. 8,000 miles, not much per mile.

My thoughts when I first looked it up were like your's, a bit expensive. But I got over it.

Stop by A30 at Champoeg and say hi.

The good thing about ours- once I finally get it- is that then it costs $10 every couple of years.

(If I ever get it.)

When we registered our U-Haul the folks at Oregon DMV needed to actually see the trailer since it was being transferred from another state. They make sure the VIN number on the trailer and Title are the same.
