Good point.  Every state is different and some are particularly dumb.  Initially I didn't have any trouble with mine in MD.  Then I moved to CT and their rules were all different.  One thing came back to haunt me, and that's that CT doesn't title small trailers.  So, when I moved back to MD 3 years later, it took 2 visits to MVA before they figured out how to get me retitled and registered.  PA sound particularly punishing in the inspection department though.  

   Easy here in NC. I provided the documentation sent by CLC paid tax, Registration and title fee. Title came in the mail in a few weeks.

Who would have thought something like that would happen? But now that I think about it, I can.

I assembled a Nuway kit over 30 years ago, and had no trouble getting it titled in Virginia. Must still be like that now as I know someone who recently assembled a kit from Harbor Freight, I think, and I don't think he had any trouble at all.

This matter of states that don't title trailers drives me crazy. I bought a boat with trailer that originated in Oklahoma I think, untitled trailer. I had been told just title as homemade, no problem. But it is a problem. Even here in Virginia. It would have to go through the inspection process as in PA, maybe even with proof of my qualifications. Eventually I sold the boat  and trailer to another "lawbreaker".

So what's the difference? Difficult to title a factory made trailer, but easy to title a self assembled trailer.

If you live in a state that doesn't title trailers, please hold on to the Statement of Origin. Your trailer will be worth more.
