What Is a “Junk” Brand RV-Title, and What Can ...

A junk title brand, as the name suggests, means that the vehicle is completely trashed. Once it carries this title, there’s no coming back—it is impossible to redeem a junk title in all 50 states. Junk titles, also known as Certificates of Destruction, signify that the vehicle is beyond repair and cannot be made roadworthy. This safety measure ensures that unsafe vehicles don’t endanger other road users.

For RVs, the rules are no different. If the RV is severely damaged, such as from flooding, it will likely need to be junked. However, there are alternative uses for junk-branded RVs, such as repurposing them as permanent structures or agriculture trailers.

Avoid Costly Mistakes: Why Title Verification ...

Purchasing a used boat can be an exciting and cost-effective way to get on the water, but skipping title verification can turn your dream purchase into a nightmare. A boat title is a legal document proving ownership, and without it, you may face issues registering your vessel or dealing with ownership disputes.

Additionally, verifying the boat's Hull Identification Number (HIN) ensures the vessel’s legality, protects against theft, and simplifies title transfers across state lines. Whether dealing with a missing title or navigating out-of-state transactions, services like bonded titles and Montana LLC registration can help streamline the process.

Don’t risk buying a boat with unresolved ownership issues—verify the title and secure smooth sailing for years to come.

Do I Need A CDL to Drive A Class A Motorhome?

Do you need a CDL to drive an RV? For most RVs, the answer is no. However, if you're driving a Class A motorhome or towing exceptionally large or heavy trailers, some states require special licenses. Weight and length thresholds vary by state, with some requiring a CDL or non-commercial Class B license for vehicles over 26,000 lbs or longer than 45 feet. While you can title and register your RV in a different state, your driver’s license and domicile dictate which state’s licensing rules apply. Understand the requirements in your state to stay compliant on the road.

The Dirt Legal Guide to Off-Roading in Montana: Best Spots and Tips

Montana is an off-roader’s paradise, offering vast wilderness and a diverse range of terrains that cater to all types of off-roading enthusiasts. With wide open prairies and rugged Rockies, the state provides a perfect playground for mudding, trail running, and general off-roading. Montana's sparse population means plenty of space to explore, and the combination of challenging landscapes—from sticky mud in the plains to rocky trails in the mountains—creates unique off-roading experiences.

For mudding enthusiasts, the prairies offer some of the best mud after snow melts, while regions like Yellowstone’s surroundings and the Flathead National Forest provide thrilling off-road trails. Whether you’re cruising in a street-legal UTV or tackling the wilderness in a surplus military vehicle, Montana offers endless opportunities for off-road adventures. Just remember to outfit your vehicle properly and adhere to the state's legal requirements for street-legal and OHV vehicles, making sure you're prepared for anything Montana's wild terrain might throw at you.
