Or cancel the policy if you can't use it. They may charge you for a whole month or something. But may help get it done.
The less you say the better. I am a real talkative person, when I'm registering my buses I try to not be that way!

Any success in registering your skoolie in Nj? We're interested in purchasing a B/B All American school bus. To convert to a skoolie & hit the road!

No, I switched all my stuff over to Vermont and was able to register the bus with no inspection for $76 and also got insurance for 280 per year ! Very happy I did that....

The following MUST be done :
1: No seats ( passenger seats must be removed)
2: No emergency lighting ( the alternating blinkers and articulated stop sign have to go)
3: Repaint ( bus can no longer be yellow and all signs that say school or school bus must be removed)
4: Permanent bed must be installed
5: permanent sink must be installed
6: permanent stove or cooktop must be installed

Now you have to have the original title placed in your name as a bus . You must also take color photos ( of all 4 sides and interior showing bed sink etc...) You must also get a certified weight slip ( need to get the bus weighed and documented)
Once you have accomplished all of this you must mail all of it ( copy of title is ok) and a $60 title fee to the Nj state DMV foreign title dept : in Trenton NJ
And that's it
so i see that you say that you first have it titled as a bus, do you know how to go about doing that in nj? I can't seem to find that anywhere!?!
