Default home made trailer
i have a trailer that a friend gave me for my son's 14' hull. it was constructed out of several parts from other trailers, no papers at all. i am trying to get a plate for it. we went to state police troop C and they wouldn't even come outside to look at it... they said we needed a paper from DMV... DMV said we need a vin and receipt from state police.... can anyone tell me what i can do, or who i need to call??

thanks..

Several years ago I built an aluminum trailer. I bought most stuff from scrap yard, kept all receipts. Went to DMV, told them I needed to register a home built trailer. Played my fees and got my paperwork from them, went to troop D, they stamped it and I was done. Don't remember ever showing receipts but it was a requirement to have? Also, I do remember some stipulation about not using parts from older trailer except axle and wheels.

what paperwork did you have to bring to DMV... other than a check?

Just go buy a junk trailer with papers. Use that paperwork for your trailer and scrap it. It will be easier in the long run.

I've done 3 homemade trailers in Texas and all I had to do is make up a Vin and then they register it. I'm sure it would be cost prohibited but if you had some one register it in Texas then it could be transferred to you.
