In Illinois, you needed to pass the emissions test in order to be allowed to register and get plates. I applied for an extension/exemption from testing, due to the car being in storage, out of state, and was still able to plate the vehicle. All that was needed was some sort of documentation showing where the vehicle was stored. I was able to do this for two years before the state no longer granted the extensions... but I was ready to change my residency by then. Perhaps you can do something similar with your stored camper...?

Not sure why you would even need to do this. When we moved from MI our vehicles needed the emission testing, whereas the county we moved to does not have that requirement. My wife's car registration (from MI) was about to expire so she titled and registered it in TN, while having a MI drivers license. The documents needed for this is minimal and can be done almost immediately upon arrival. Not only that, but the plate/registration for my vehicle was almost $200.00 in MI while TN was less then $60.00 at that time. As far as the address we used, it was a RV park I spent 2 months with electric bill in our name. That bill and a statement from a local bank was all she needed to register/title her vehicle.
