trailer registration woes. Please Help!

[BOO]

I'd do the homemade thing, if that becomes a problem just give me a jingle I'm pretty sure I have a title for a home made trailer around here somewhere. The trailer is long gone.

The more I hear these horror stories, the more I like living in Tennessee. We do not have to put tags on a trailer if it does not exceed 16 feet. We can register it if we want. We also do not have an automobile state inspection where you get ripped off coming and going and we also do not have a state income tax.

We are just a bunch of rednecks that don't know we need these things:cool10:

Today I went to the DMV to get my trailer inspected so I could register it . I handed the guy the "Affidavit of Trailer Construction" form that had the "Specially Constructed Trailer" box checked. He looked at it and the first thing he said was, "This is a manufactured trailer." I lied and told him the shell was built by some hick in SC and I just added the parts. I added how we don't title trailers in SC. He looked it over shaking his head. "You built this?", he said with a tone that said he totally didn't believe me. He asked if I had a bill of sale for any of the parts. I said no, it was a long time ago. He probably asked me 5 times, "When exactly did you build this?" He looked all over for a VIN. I told him there wasn't one anywhere and of course he never found one. He checked the lights and shortly thereafter came out with this super cool robotic, punch/etching tool that stamped the date and a NV DMV VIN# on the main tongue part of the trailer. So the homemade thing worked! Thanks for all the info guys! Great forum!http://www.kilik.com/vinapplying.jpg

 

How much did the registration cost?

Thanks for all the info fellas. Perhaps I am getting hung up on the "homemade" thing. It's just that I was told by 2 people at the DMV I was screwed and then the nazi inspectors, whom you have to see first in NV, said the same thing. I'll just pull it to a different DMV inspector and tell them it's homemade.

 

Thanks again!

 

When you take it in and they ask if its homemade say "Yep built in in my garage from scraps." You should see what I could do if I had manufactured parts. Remember these are goberment folks and deal with so many people they no longer care what you say as long as they ask and you answer. Just fill out the forms and turn em in. I know I would without a second thought.
