Connecticut tips

Hello all, looking at this site has helped me delve deeper into my new addiction much to the dismay of friends and loved ones. One thing that I can't seem to find is tips for ct insurance and reg. Seems things have changed quite a bit in the last decade in this state. I'm trying to have more of an idea of how and what to say as to not dig a deeper hole. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated. Jake

I sent my wife to DMV -Old Saybrook- to get my short bus registered. "What plate do you want?" "Camper please." That was it. Told Insurance it was a camper. No issues.

I do like the old saybrook dmv, never had any issues that could not be fixed there. I have geico on my jeep and hope to use them. If you don't mind who do you use? I will be looking at a bus in N. Stonington and in Groton this weekend if they are still available.

There is a shuttle bus sitting along side of the road in the center of East Hampton. Been sitting there a few years. A fixxer upper for sure. But might be had cheap.

Thank you again, as of last weeks revealings at dmv I will be looking at out of state wheels. Where I find the bus I will get licence there. My newly minted ex won't pay her taxes on her vehicles that unfortunately have my name on them. Finding some interesting stuff in PA, upstate ny, and md. Really leaning towards 40' traditional with a 466 not sure hydro or air brake. Have class b cdl with air endorsement so no issue with that just repair and maint, on air systems.
