Trailers that are 2001 or newer with a carrying capacity of 3,001 lbs or more require a title. A vehicle identification check (VIN) is required if the trailer is currently titled out of state. A safety inspection is required for all trailers 1,000 lbs & greater.

Q: We own a 27-foot travel trailer which we tow behind our pickup truck. The travel trailer is registered with camper plates. Does R.I. law mandate that our camper be inspected yearly and that it have a valid inspection sticker affixed?

A: Yes, all trailers (camper, utility, freight, flatbed etc.) with a Gross Vehicle Weight of over 1,000 lbs. are required to pass inspection by June 30th each year. New trailers are exempt for 2 years or 24,000 miles. It is especially important to have travel trailers inspected as required due to the size and weight of these trailers and the fact that they put such an additional burden on the tow vehicles. The proper function and condition of the tires, braking, and suspension systems is critical.

I don't know about RI but here in VA a trailer with no inspection sticker gets a ticket just like a car without one. I get all 3 of my trailers inspected every year.
