I'm from Wisconsin.

When I bought my first lightweight TT, Wisconsin DMV told me the same thing, it doesn't require a plate.

Well I was going to hit the road with the TT traveling south and most certainly was not in the mood to be stopped by every cop in every county I drove thru for no plate.

You DO have the option to buy a plate for it.
The Wisconsin DMV offers this option.

IMHO, JMHO I would buy the plate versus getting stopped every day as you travel

I bought a plate for the TT even though it was not required.

This is the right answer!
Pretty sure that registration on a trailer it's only $15 per year.

Here is a quote from the Wisconsin DOT form MV1-Recreation
? RVT RV Trailer (walls rigid, collapsible or non-collapsible - for human habitation.) Show length at right. Fee = $15
This form does not show anything about weight for travel trailers.. I have pulled popups through Colorado on many occasions and on every trip, we have been pulled over at least once.

Yes you are right the 'no plate' is related to length not weight. I erroneously referred to weight in my post!

Where weight DOES comes into play is for Wisconsin emissions testing.
Anything over 3,000 lbs does NOT need to emission test.

I found this out when I registered my one ton truck. Get this, they gave me the OPTION of whether I wanted to register as over 3,000!!

Well......hell yes if it means I don't have to jump hoops with emissions testing I'll gladly pay a few bucks more for the plate.(this was several years ago requirements may have changed since then) But I still don't have to take my MH thru emissions.

Albeit I find it interesting that usually a bigger vehicle is going to emit more, yet they don't require them to be tested and the fact that you can actually resister a vehicle for more than it actually weighs.!!!????
