tagging a trailer with no paperwork

Post by m35gibson »

hey guys
just curious if there was a way of getting a title, then tags for my m101
trailer, it never had any paperwork that came with it. i figured my luck is going to run out one day taking it to aberdeen with no tags :roll:
2 years ago when i bought it outside of dover, coming
home i missed my turnoff and drove thru downtown dc, right dead in front of the capital building, and made it home with no one pulling me over,
i call that great luck :wink:

You could try contacting DRMO and asking if you can still get an SF97 for it. You might have to complete an EUC first, and it could take a while, but you'd be perfectly legal. You could also check with the PA department of motor vehicles (or whatever they call it) and see what titling/licensing options are available to you. In IL, we can always title and register it as a "home-made" trailer even though it's obviously a factory-made item.

It is as per your state law. Small trailers usually do not require a title to go down to DMV and buy a small trailer plate. As usuall, plead stupidity and call it home made. :lol: Tom

Also, maybe you can get a registration for a home made trailer. That is what I had for my M101 as it didnt have a title. I sold the trailer a couple years ago, but I kept the trailer registration going as I can use it on any trailer I want since the reg didnt have a serial number on it...

BTW, in Idaho on small trailers, you buy a small licence plate and run the darn thing forever. The cops never do check the expirations on small trailers. Tom
