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.

tried that... can't find one... LOL
just called DMV they said to go to troop C first them bring reciept to them...
WTH!!

Man, I really can't remember. But that was the route I took.

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.

still tryin to get this thing registered... anyone know of a trooper in the bayou blue/houma area that can help??

I wish I could help you. I have two jet skis on a trailer that were abandoned on my property and I cant do a dang thing with them.

I'll take them off your hands!
