what a pain in the *****

Yeah I hear you there.... Can't possibly see the reason for re-registering the VIN# and a subsequent inspection when you were the last person to have had registration on the friggin' trailer... Doesn't make sense.
My trailer is 'plate steel' (75' Caulkins) and the VIN# is not visible ANYWHERE on the trailer (likely rusted off at one point). I've had a tag made for it with the make and VIN# that I initially registered and will be 'riveting' it to the trailer ASAP.
