You can only get a ticket for state inspection in the state you are tagged in. If you could get one in another state you will have to pass their inspection to get rid of the ticket. Some states front License plate with trailer some with two and some with only one on rear. Some states no plates on trailers. Some with no inspections and some with emissions inspections. Just do what is required in your state for the plates.

Don't know where you got this total bunch of mis-information. You can and will be ticketed for equipment violations in ANY state. ALL states require a rear plate, VISIBLE & readable at all times from a distance of 100' or more. Cover it and you are asking for a citation from any LEO. I do know that there is one state that does not require a plate on a trailer under certain conditions.

There are several states that do not required plates on a trailer.

In Wisconsin plates are NOT required for a trailer under a certain length. I think it was around 20 ft or something like that.

My first brand new TT was under that length, and since DMV considered it a 'trailer' the DMV said I didn't need a plate. :E

I most certainly was NOT in the mood to hit the road pulling my brand new RV with a slide and no plate on it and have every tom dick and stupid harry cop that doesn't know my states rules pulling me over for no plates.

I 'requested' DVM to allow me to buy a plate for it.

Took an hour and half at the DMV for them to get over that fact my trailer didn't need one, I wanted one, and for them to finally provide me with one. :R
