My question is does anyone know of a way to title an old airstream which was purchased with only a bill of sale? I live in IL. and can get it titled as a homemade trailer, but for obvious reasons didn't want to do that. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks
Illinois is a very strict title state and getting a title for your coach will likely prove to be a very drawn-out problem. The easiest method will be to have a title search done for the most recent registered owner (currency exchanges in the larger cities can do this as can licensed automobile and RV dealers). Then, there is an array of official forms that must be filled out -- most of these are the ones for the previous owner to apply for a replacement title and then the forms to transfer the title. Having gone through this nightmare with a collector car, I learned my lesson in Illinois -- if it doesn't have a tranferrable title avoid it as Illinois processes all automobile and RV titles in much the same way.
