▶️COOL INFORMATION ABOUT TRAILERS
A trailer is an unpowered vehicle towed by a powered vehicle. It is commonly used for the transport of goods and materials.
Sometimes recreational vehicles, travel trailers, or mobile homes with limited living facilities, where people can camp or stay have been referred to as trailers. In earlier days, many such vehicles were towable trailers.
COOL INFORMATION ABOUT TRAILERS
United States
A truck pulling a semi-trailer using a trailer dolly.
In the United States, the term is sometimes used interchangeably with travel trailer and mobile home, varieties of trailers and manufactured housing designed for human habitation. Their origins lay in utility trailers built in a similar fashion to horse-drawn wagons. A trailer park is an area where mobile homes are placed for habitation.
In the United States trailers ranging in size from single-axle dollies to 6-axle, 13-foot-6-inch (4.11 m) high, 53-foot (16 m) long semi-trailers are commonplace. The latter, when towed as part of a tractor-trailer or "18-wheeler", carries a large percentage of the freight that travels over land in North America.
Types of trailers
ACP Backtracking genset trailer
Some trailers are made for personal (or small business) use with practically any powered vehicle having an appropriate hitch, but some trailers are part of large trucks called semi-trailer trucks for transportation of cargo.
Enclosed toy trailers and motorcycle trailers can be towed by commonly accessible pickup truck or van, which generally require no special permit beyond a regular driver's license. Specialized trailers like open-air motorcycle trailers, bicycle trailers are much smaller, accessible to small automobiles, as are some simple trailers, pulled by a drawbar and riding on a single set of axles. Other trailers, such as utility trailers and travel trailers or campers come in single and multiple axle varieties, to allow for varying sizes of tow vehicles.
There also exist highly specialized trailers, such as genset trailers, pusher trailers and their ilk that are also used to power the towing vehicle. Others are custom-built to hold entire kitchens and other specialized equipment used by
carnival vendors. There are also trailers for hauling boats.

You need to raise that hitch higher so the trailer is parallel to the ground. Other than the chain has to loop around the receiver chain loop, thanks for sharing the vid!

Hi Guys, I have the same question around REG 343 vs REG 4017: which one for a new self-assembled trailer? I plan to build a boat trailer from a kit. If REG 343, then what vehicle type do you select for Section 1? The only choices are Auto, Commercial, Motorcycle, Off Highway, and Trailer Coach. If REG 4017, then what to use for PTI Identification Plate Number for Section 1?

Yes, I got the plates the same. The trailer was great to have on the property vs having to buy a pickup truck. I sold it because of a move and next month I may need to buy another one. I got that one on sale for $180 and now they are running $499 at harbor freight. Total cost will spare and accessories will be about $750 now.
@hassonmike 2 жыл бұрын
@@RANDOMFIX thanks for the quick reply! That makes all the difference; I think I'm going to get it. I'm nervous though because I've read some reviews about bad bearings and flexing during tie down - but if I just replace the grease, and put down plywood & 2x4 base - that should solve both problems right? Is that what you mean by accessories? You getting a second one despite the markup is a pretty good sign though lol and I've found harbor freight to be of great quality for a vast majority of my purchases so far, but It's first trip will be moving with across the country, so I need make sure it's solid!

I watched this video but you didn't explain if your title or ownership papers were signed by the manufacturer or the seller (,harbor freight). My kids bought a dump trailer for me online. When it came the paperwork wasn't signed. Because it was a gift I don't have the receipt either. I need to know who needs to sign the origin ownership paperwork? I am getting frustrated at this point. BTW I am dealing with Arizona DMV.

@@RANDOMFIX I was moving from Oregon to So. CAL. I bought a truck that came with the Harbor Freight trailer. I put some rails around it very simular to yours and painted it black. I asked the guy I got it from why it had no lights. He said it didn't need them because of the size. Curiously I called DMV and they confirmed that fact. Also didn't need to register it. I asked even in Ca. They said yes. So anyways I slapped some reflective stickers from Harbor Freight on the side and back and was good to go. Oh it was blocking my license plate so I moved the plate to the back of my roof rack on top of my SUV with a battery powered bike light so as not to get pulled over not being able to see my license plate at night. Many police passed me at night and daytime. Never had any issues. Knowledge and research is key. Always check with DMV. HAPPY TRAILS
