We are now successfully insured (to the fullest extent that you can be when you are building your own camper in an old school bus), and registered. Day 1 at the DMV was not so successful. The woman helping us couldn't quite grasp the concept of the short bus conversion. Day 2, however, went much smoother. The clerk assisting us the second day was entirely familiar with the concept and wished us happy travels. Our plates are beautiful.
