Campers -- License and plates -- Application -- Fee. (Effective until July 1, 2011.)

It shall be unlawful for a person to operate any vehicle equipped with a camper over and along a public highway of this state without first having obtained and having in full force and effect a current and proper camper license and displaying a camper license number plate therefor as required by law: PROVIDED, HOWEVER, That if a camper is part of the inventory of a manufacturer or dealer and is unoccupied at all times, and a dated demonstration permit, valid for no more than seventy-two hours is carried in the motor vehicle at all times it is operated by any such individual, such camper may be demonstrated if carried upon an appropriately licensed vehicle.

     Application for an original camper license shall be made on a form furnished for the purpose by the director. Such application shall be made by the owner of the camper or his or her duly authorized agent over the signature of such owner or agent, and he or she shall certify that the statements therein are true and to the best of his or her knowledge. The application must show:

     (1) Name and address of the owner of the camper;

     (2) Trade name of the camper, model, year, and the serial number thereof;

     (3) Such other information as the director requires.

     There shall be paid and collected annually for each registration year or fractional part thereof and upon each camper a license fee or, if the camper was previously licensed in this state and has not been registered in another jurisdiction in the intervening period, a renewal license fee. Such license fee shall be in the sum of four dollars and ninety cents, and such renewal license fee shall be in the sum of three dollars and fifty cents.

     Except as otherwise provided for in this section, the provisions of chapter 46.16 RCW shall apply to campers in the same manner as they apply to vehicles.
