Don’t Demo Your VIN plate!
Hey all!
I live in Florida and I’m going to get my bus registered tomorrow!
We have completely demoed and framed the bus, electric and plumbing is starting next week.
I was going through the forms in Florida TL 13 for reference. And I got to a part where it said I had to get them VIN plate checked by a notary on the bus. We have no license plate, so I had to pay a mobile notary.
They come out, we can’t find the VIN anywhere. It’s an international bus. I notice a sticker that was removed on the dash and my heart sinks. Maybe we removed it in demoing?
Then, the notary leaves after we can’t find it, we had also scrapped most of our metal too. I’m crying internally. Then we take a second look at the metal panel that was above the drivers seat (I saved it for a template for building) and there it is on a basic sticker. It’s no where else on the bus. It’s a 2007 international 38 footer.
I think I’m going to need to make a new vin plate now….
That is something no one ever mentioned to me I think newer skoolies need to plan and take note of!
So lucky we found it and the notary came back and cleared us!
