Nebraska also requires annual license plates for mobile homes.  They're not
quite
the same as a vehicle's license plate (they're much smaller) but the basic
procedure
for getting them is the same and the same office at the courthouse issues them.
If memory serves they cost about half what a vehicle license plate would cost.

When I rotated back to the states in 1972 I bought a large (36 foot) travel
trailer
that I intended to make my house.  I found a mobile home park near the base to
park it in and was quite happy with it - until winter hit, the trailer didn't
have
adequate insulation or insulated windows and the furnace ran all the time
(fortunately
the furnace ran on city gas service rather than tanks).
