Inspections

none here in oregon eather

It sounds like there are more states that don't require inspections than those that do (Indiana also does not).

I'm guessing that is why the OP got such shocking results on their inspection/no inspection survey of the campground.

No inspections in Georgia. Never even heard of having a camper inspected. Who inspects it?

No inspections in AK or WA.
AK wont even title or license a TC. They view it as a "topper."

No inspection here for non-commercial vehicles, and no registration or tags required for trailers.

Ditto for Colorado.

In VIRGINIA the trailer inspection stickers are placed on the driver's side trailer tongue as shown below.

Basically any trailer that has installed trailer brakes require a safety inspection here in Virginia. The safety inspection includes inspection of all trailer mounted lights where the rear lights all have to be DOT approved types. Tires and brake shoe/pads wear, and my last inspection I had to demonstrate that the electric brakes were actually working. When they had the trailer wheel jacked up for tire and brake shoe/pad inspection inspection I had to push in on my truck brake pedal while they tried to spin my trailer wheel. I had to tell them that my 2010 F150 Truck would not send power to my trailer brakes if I was under 10PMH speed using the brake pedal so I had to use the trailer brake slide level on the controller to activate the trailer brakes... I got my sticker so I guess I passed...

The first time I had my trailer inspected I had added white lights under the rear bumper and was told I would have to remove them or wire them up to operate when the truck was in reverse. I had my spotting lights wired to an ON/OFF switch inside the trailer. I was allowed to go home and remove them or make changes. I removed them from the rear and mounted on each side of the trailer in the rear frame area... Was better for me anyway as I can't see directly behind my trailer anyway... They said I could mount them high on the trailer in the rear if desired but that wasn't a good option for my POPUP.

NOTE: I will remove my trailer inspection story if the OP so desires... Certainly don't want to upset anyone...

this isn't going in the direction the OP was hoping for. too bad.

NY State non-commercial trailer safety inspection stickers are kept in the tow vehicle, not displayed on the trailer.

"Requirements for trailers"

Trailer Inspection

An annual safety inspection is required for a trailer. A DMV-licensed inspection station that inspects passenger vehicles and other light-duty vehicles can inspect a trailer. The inspector will give you the inspection sticker. Carry the inspection sticker in the vehicle that tows the trailer.

Yep, NYS requires them every year. And they don't let the garages charge enough to do them! They have to pull a wheel to check brakes on motor vehicles. The car is $10 and the motorhome is $20. Check rate chart: http://www.dmv.ny.gov/forms/vs77.pdf
and here is everything they are suppose to check: http://www.dmv.ny.gov/broch/c-50.htm on a car or light truck.
And the engine emissions check - you don't want to hear about it. But you can't have a check engine light on. They actually plug into the OBDII plug with a computer hooked to the state's computer. But you can pay extra if it will not go out. Big extra, something like $400 extra.
