RECREATIONAL VEHICLE DEALER

"98" base:  This purple/white base had an embossed "98" in the bottom right corner inside the state outline and was renewed for 1999 and 2000 with stickers.  The plate number format was "00 R/V 00-00".  The plate number was the county code, followed by a stacked "R" over "V" for "recreational vehicle", and the dealership number in that county.  After the dealer number, a centered dot separated it from the number of the plate for that dealer.  For example, for dealer #1 in county #1, all their plates began with "1 R/V 1-".  After the dot separator, the dealer's plates were number consecutively from #1 up.  Vehicles that were covered by the dealership's insurance used plates with a "DEALER" sticker placed at the top of the plate.  Vehicles not covered and used for demonstration purposes only had a "DEMO" sticker at the top instead.
