What are the new regulations for licensing towable RVs?

New regulations for licensing towable RVs are: 1. To register a towable RV, you need to bring the customs import certificate with Chinese labels and the motor vehicle sales invoice issued by the sales unit. Follow the new license plate procedure, pay the purchase tax, undergo vehicle inspection and road test, and obtain a yellow trailer license plate. 2. Small passenger cars are only allowed to tow travel trailers or trailers with a total mass of less than 700 kilograms. 3. Trailers are not allowed to carry passengers. Trucks, semi-trailer tractors, and tractors are only allowed to tow one trailer. The lighting signals, brakes, connections, and safety protection devices of the trailer must comply with national standards.
Our fleet recently registered three travel trailers, and the process has indeed been simplified. Trailers under 750 kg now only require compulsory traffic insurance and purchase invoices for registration, and no separate driver's license is needed. The key point to note is that the coupling device must have a 3C certification mark, and the published parameters must include towing information. Before registration, confirm whether the towing vehicle's registration certificate indicates the approved towing mass. If not, you need to visit the DMV to add this information. In practice, yellow-plate travel trailers are charged as a higher vehicle class at toll stations, so this cost should be factored in. It's recommended to bring the vehicle conformity certificate and reflective vest to the DMV, as license plates can now be issued on the spot.
