well,
i got my bus home yesterday. went into DMV this afternoon, then found out that i needed to get an appraisal for tax purposes. so, off to see that guy, then back to register it. registered as a camper/motorhome, with no issues at all. i even got to use my personalized plates that i have.
i got PLPD 1,000,000 coverage for $1074 for the year. it seems abit steep compared to some here, but the best price that i could find. the highest was $2300. that would be like buying the bus every year. so now it is only every second year
