Register of travel trailers
Just curious if most of the travel trailer owners register their trailer? Most of the trailers i find online like in craigslist, their pink slip is old and would only show the original owner in it...

IN PA: Registration, Plates, Title, and yearly state safety inspection. You can't have unsafe bricks going down the road, and prevents black market sale of products.
Ditto with one clearification. The inspection is for trailers over 3000# (they must have brakes at that point). So if you have a light-weight trailer, only the registration/plates is required. There is even a 5 yr option.
I believe the 5yr option for PA trailer registration is only available for trailers of 3001 lbs and up..
I had a 3K trailer many years ago and the 5 yr option was not available for it at that time..
Sadly, you don't get a "discount" for the 5yr but it is nice to only need to register once every 5yrs!
I have said it before and I will say it again.. If buying a trailer make sure it HAS a good legit title which is in the name of the person that you are buying from..
I will add, even IF YOUR STATE DOESN'T CARE.. Transferring ownership name on the title from seller to the buyer will make it much easier down the road for you to sell..
Buying a trailer in many states like PA a no title or improperly signed title basically makes the trailer nothing more than a hunting camp or storage box..
