There is no one blanket registration rule for campers. Each state governs campers or truck campers differently. In Ohio, for example, no registration is required, but you must obtain a car title. Illinois mandates both a title and registration, while California requires neither. And Idaho demands titling, but only for campers purchased after 2009. For the rules of your state, consult the grid below.

Always check with your state’s DMV to confirm your RV title and registration requirements.
