YES I KNOW THIS IS NOT THIRDGEN RELATED BUT YALL ARE THE ONLY ONES I KNOW TO GO TO, plus you know thirdgens need car trailers that could be in the same problem

hey guy i need some help, i got my ex a horse trailer here in alabama, where trailer titles are a joke, well she moved back home to cali, and now needs to title it and get tags for cali......problem is there is no title its homemade....so any help would be nice so i can relay to her what she needs to do, i know what to do here in bama, but i know cali is totaly different

 

Title it in Alabama. A title is a title anywhere, then just register it in California.

 

basically you will have to file paper work with the dmv as a specially constructed vehicle and it will have to pass an inspection (lights, plates correct hitch etc)

 

^^^ What he said

 

These guys are right. Take it to the DMV to get the ball rolling, either the CHP or DMV will do the inspection, then rivet a tag on it with serial numbers. Naturally you will have to pay "fees", and they will then issue you plates, stickers and a title as SPCNS (Special construction). It's not a major deal, as with trailers, no smog or anything is required.

TA

 

hahaha i dont think your able to smog a trailer

 

cant have to have the trailer here, all i got to do here is go to the DMV they walk out look at it (hillbillys could care less about lights and safty chains idoits), then give you a tag, and then the state sends you a vin plate a few weeks later

and yea it will pass inspection, i put lights, chains, brakes, and a 12k hitch on it

thanks for the help guys, i will pass this info on to her
