GETTING TITLE HELP
FOR A VINTAGE CAMPER _____________________ Please read our Disclaimer _____________________________________________ From
Ken:
"Getting paper out of nowhere is tough, but not impossible. I had
nothing whatsoever on my 59. Not even an emblem to tell me what it was.
The numbers on it were unreadable. The LP tank plate was covering it
and rusted the area to the point where I just couldn't tell the last 3
numbers. But, the camper had an old license plate on it, last
registered in the early 80's. I sent Pa DMV $15 and they did a
registration check on it. They sent me the vin # and the name of the
last registrant. - my 8th grade English teacher, Charlie Woods, who has
long since passed away. Small world. That paperwork was enough to get
me a registration. NY does not require a title for that age camper. I
then stamped the VIN into the aluminum skin on the drivers side, and on
a small aluminum plate and affixed it underneath the Serro Scotty
Sportsman logo. I figure if none of us knew where to look for it they
won't either. If they want numbers then there they are and I don't know
nothing. They are the real numbers, though, so phooey on them. If you
know what your VIN is, but don't have any paper, then try going to DMV
of the state you think it came from and have them
run the VIN. Pay the fee. (Pray it doesn't come up stolen.) See if you
can track down the last
registrant. If you don't know where it came from, try PA The odds
are good. There are a lot of
PA campers. Mine came from
someone from PA"
If
you have no title try this and
see if you can get one - From Ace.
1) Bill of sale from a state that
it
came from. ( ie: Mich. )

I have added this
info
concerning what is posted from Ace. Since I was going through the
Pa DOT web site, I felt this may be informative. As the web site
notes - MV-1 is not available on line and you need a Notary or dealer
to do this form.2) A letter to the state. Informing them that you got it from a state were titles are not required. 3) PA form MV-1 paid sales tax and title fee (state the sale price and pay the PA sales tax and title fee ) 4) Good luck and hopefully you'll get a valid title. "Note: Forms MV-1 and MV-4ST are not
available online. These
forms must be completed
by an authorized agent of the Department. You will need to contact a notary or dealer for assistance with the completion of these forms." This is the link to the MV-1A FORM , which is - Instructions for Completion of Forms MV-1 and MV-4st. I looked through this Instruction form and it will give you a good idea of what all is involved to get the TITLE. It is in PDF format, so you will need Acrobat Reader to view it. ____________________________________________________________________________ Don Manvell posted this title service International Title Service that his son used and did get a Bill of Sale and a title to register the camper in PA. This seemed to work and took a couple of weeks, so may be something you want to check into if you need the service and have the VIN number. ________________________________________________ Web page created by Larry Bush: Sept.17.2007 Serro Scotty ~ Vintage Campers © Edited - 5.28.2009 - - - All Rights Reserved ___________________________________ |
