Hello all,
I am leaning on the Michigan clan here.
I recently purchased a 1977 GMC from a dealer in Michigan. The GMC was titled as a "Trailer Coach". I found in the Michigan regulations where a mobile home prior to 1978 is a "Trailer Coach", but can not find the same for a motorhome/RV.
Can some on point me in the right direction or do I need a new corrected Michigan title.
Thanks in advance,
Tom

The State of Michigan Certificate of Title, issued 07/20/98, for our 1976 GMC shows "Body Style" as "Motor Home". You might have to visit a Michigan SOS office to have it corrected.

Thank you Richard. I am trying to fix it from here. If I am successful it will save Sam and I a lot of work. I believe he still has another 23' Birchaven for saleso it is good to not have it happen on the next title as well.
Take care,
Tom

Tom,
"From Here?" So, I guess you are not in Michigan.....
That is unfortunate. If it were a Michigan coach, you could get either an Historic or Authentic registration both are less expensive than most and the Historic issues a current style plate but labeled as Historic and an Authentic requires that you acquire a year of manufacture plate. Historic is good for ten years and Authentic for as long as you own it.
Both have the restriction that the vehicle cannot be a daily driver, will only be driven to events and shows, for testing and repair and the month of August. I figure I am always going to a show (there is open house at every rally Sunday), so if need be I show someone the calendar of GMCMI events. Why am I in Yellowstone on the way to Chippawah Falls? Nobody said I had to go the shortest way.....

Thank you all.
It will be a Maryland Historic tag and hopefully my title guy will be able to correct the title from here. I sent him a photo of the VIN plate and a photo of the motorhome and have not heard back from him.
I will report back the out come.
Thanks again,
Tom
