Just got the good news from Oregon's DMV website. My Outfitter Caribou 8' does not meet the definition of a "camper" as the floor to ceiling height is less than 5'5" while it is in the travel position! MY outside floor to top distance is only 5'1" so I am no where near it------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this a great country or what?????? No license tax!! No registration tax!!! No state fees!!! No Plates!!! Are ya feeling the love?? My state of Oregon must love me!!!!!:D

Folks, I am going to take the few hundred dollars I saved for taxes, registration and fees and set it aside for my Yukon trip!!!

Tell me more Stew! I am planning a trip next summer to The Yukon then to Alaska for some Sockeye action and was considering ferrying back. I am heading to Watson Lake to trace my Dad's work on the Alaska-Canadian Hwy and "wet a line" along the way.

In Oregon "Campers" are required to be licenced and titled by the State. However, FWC and Outfitters or any soft sided "camper" generally does not meet the definition of "Camper" by DMV (If floor to ceiling is less than 5'5" when in the closed/travel position it is not a "Camper").

So some soft sided pop ups (Like Outfitter Apex) are "Campers" and most are not (like Outfitter Caribou; FWC, Phoenix, Lite-Craft, Hallmark). All regular hard sided campers must be licenced and titled but not my rig.

Truck plates and title--yes--Outfitter Camper--no plates or title in Oregon. We are also a no sales tax state, so we pay no tax when we purchase a camper or car. However we pay up to 10% in income tax.

Life is better with low taxes and low fees. :rolleyes:Outfitter Caribou 8 in Colorado Mountains 004.JPG
