Thank you for the information. The problem I see is that it does have American stamped on the frame. It even looks like there is a tag maybe a manufacture ID number stamped on the frame but for sure it’s not a VIN number. It’s just that the company went out of business so I can’t obtain a MSO. I’m wondering if I can say I bought the frame and redid the axles and call it rebuilt. Sounds like talking to DMV is of no help.

Hi Ralph,

I am located in California so I know they are a lot stricter here than in most states.

Thanks Don. That’s a good idea, I’m in california and the person I bought it from brought it from an older gentleman but didn’t have any of the original paperwork. I looked up the manufacturer of the trailer and the company went out of business several years ago. Might just have to go that route and say it’s homebuild.

I don’t think it has ever been registered because I can’t seem to find a VIN anywhere on the frame.

Thank you. I’ll have to do a little more research.

Thank you Hot Runr Guy!

So it looks like I won’t be able to get the MSO. I wonder if DMV will accept that I just build the trailer on my own.
