what state are you in? I just went through that process with my bus in NC and from what I have learned it's different in every state. In my case insurance was as easy as calling my current vehicle insurance company and telling them I bought a bus and need to drive it home and give them the vin etc. and they insured it 6 months liability for $130 as an RV even though they knew it was fully unconverted. title and registration I was initially going to do the vermont thing but I stupidly put yellow in the color and they sent it back(19 days later) so I went the legit NC route since I already had the lift and seats out. That went really smooth, call set an appointment with an inspector, the inspector checked the vin plates took pictures of them checked that I had the required 4 of 7 things your choice, none had to be attached in any way 1-heat or ac 2-cooking 3-fridge 4-ac power 5-propane 6-toilet 7-sink with running water(I had the first 6 just from camping gear)get a paper from the inspector right there on site after, go to the licensing agency and give them money and 2 signatures, get a plate and registration and the title will come later in the mail. It was actually cheaper then vermont and if I knew it would be that easy I would have done it this way in the beginning since technically the vermont thing you are supposed to get a vermont inspection afterwards and I never plan on going to vermont so I guess it's not really 100% legal.
