[Shop-talk] Transferring trailers across states.

[Eric J Russell]

When we moved from MA to NC in 2000 I had a homemade car trailer. IIRC, I 
didn't have a MA title but I did have MA registration. NC issued me a VIN 
that I had to stamp onto the tongue of the trailer then take it to a DMV 
office so a State Trooper could inspect the VIN (I was issued a temporary 
registration & tag - aka license plate - for that purpose). Once thusly 
inspected I was issued a NC title & registration. Other than having to write 
a check to the NC DMV it was fairly painless. It seemed like they'd done it 
all before.
