Title: Registering a harbor freight trailer
Post by: dwils233 on May 08, 2019, 09:23:28 PM: I just finished building a harbor freight 4x8 trailer for my camping and kayak/fishing gear and I need to go register it. I've got my factory document of origin and receipt. I've heard 2 different things: need to take it to wsp for inspection before licensing or just take it to an auto licensing place and they'll check lights etc before registering it.

Can anyone give me some direction on if I need to take it to wsp first or just straight to licensing? Thanks!
