I have a trailer that only goes on the road a couple times a year. What if I didn't renew the registration for say 5 years or so? Seems like a waste of money to pay for it
Guess you will find out if you get pulled over! You might want to PM dnewton3 since I believe he worked in Law Enforcement!I have a trailer that only goes on the road a couple times a year. What if I didn't renew the registration for say 5 years or so? Seems like a waste of money to pay for it
Not likely if you only drive it 10 times in 5 years. I know people that drive everyday for a year with expired registrationGuess you will find out if you get pulled over! You might want to PM dnewton3 since I believe he worked in Law Enforcement!
In certain states if you are under a particular weight you don’t technically need plates on a trailer.I have a trailer that only goes on the road a couple times a year. What if I didn't renew the registration for say 5 years or so? Seems like a waste of money to pay for it
I kinda assume he means it will be unused while it has unrenewed registration. If he means it will be on the road, obviously he is subject to getting a ticket or having it impounded.Guess you will find out if you get pulled over!
You know the O.P. is from New Jersey?Just went thru an inspection pull over checkpoint in Freehold.
I did not know that because he chose to not display his location.You know the O.P. is from New Jersey?
Lived in Maine all my life. I'm not aware of this. You can register a trailer for a year, or 2 years AFAIK. Generally I register 1 trailer and move the plate. I have a pop-up camper, 2 trailers (small and medium), and a wood splitter. All of which see maybe 150 miles a year. Technically I'd need to register all of them. Which is total BS as far as I'm concerned. I'm towing all of them with a registered vehicle, don't use any of them for commerce. I haul firewood, and general debris to the dump.Here in OH one only needs a weight slip to register a trailer-it just goes down as “homemade”. Maine has permanent trailer plates, even for out of state residents & businesses.
It's not your place to decide for him what he should display.Nothing wrong with NJ. Should be proud to display it.
I guess the max is 12 years, so not completely permanent-Lived in Maine all my life. I'm not aware of this. You can register a trailer for a year, or 2 years AFAIK.
