I'm very interested in getting a collector plate for mine but i'd loose my handicapper plate and then I couldn't get my 'by the door' parking spot at walmart with the bus. lol When I asked them about a collector plate they seemed to be want to limit my miles really bad, I'm not sure how or why they could do that but i'm still giving it thought.  And yes, I do have a handicapper plate on my bus lol.

States have all different rules on use of vehicles with collector plates.  Some states only allow a certain number of miles yearly while others restrict what days of the weeek they can be driven.  The State of Minnesota requires you to have a second vehicle registered.  You also may not use a collector vehicle for "general transportation purposes" whatever that means.  This has been interpreted by law enforcement to mean you can't drive a collector vehicle to work.

The whole point of the restrictions is to stop folks from registering old junkers as collector cars to avoid registration fees if they intend to use the vehicle as an everyday vehicle.

Minnesota says on the web that Collector plates are not for recreational vehicles, but Craig discovered the law really doesn't say that.  My vehicle is not 20 years old yet, but I would probably pay the yearly fee just so my plates say recreational vehicle.  If I had a collector plate some rookie patrol officer might decide I need air brake endorsement and all that if  I am not registered as a motorhome.
