DMV registration question (travel trailer)
Just picked up a travel trailer, a '72 Airstream Ambassador (29'). It hadn't been registered since '08 according to the tags, and was purchased under lien sale from a tow yard. The DMV stuck me with back-reg for the past couple of years, and someone said they shouldn't be able to do that.
Does anyone have any experience with buying unregistered vehicles / trailers in CA that knows whether I should've been charged or not?

From CA DMV web site..... may help (?):
How do I report a vehicle with expired California registration?
Since the California DMV has an aggressive delinquent registration collection process in place, it may be that renewal fees have been paid but other requirements have not been met, such as: smog certification, or clearance of outstanding parking citations. Stickers cannot be issued until all requirements are met.
If the renewal fee is not paid within 30 days following the expiration, DMV sends a series of computer generated delinquent registration notifications to the vehicle owner(s). If the renewal fee still remains unpaid after 90 days, the account is transferred to the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) for collection. FTB has the authority to withhold wages, levy bank accounts, intercept tax refunds, and seize real or personal property to collect delinquent registration fees.
If you have additional questions or wish to report a vehicle with expired registration, you may contact your local law enforcement.
