For those who trailer to DE events, please keep in mind that PA requires annual inspections of trailers over 3,000 lbs. GVW.
I recently purchased a trailer and found out about the inspections from Cargo Trailer Sales in Lansdale. While driving to get the trailer inspected, I was stopped by one of Montgomeryville's finest and questioned about the GVW and purchase date. It also didn't help that both the trailer and tow vehicle had been purchased within the past 10 days. Fortunately, the officer let me go.
So, keep in mind your registration renewals and trailer inspections. I don't know if that cop recently had a training class or that the township is focusing on trailers, but I figured that my minor misfortune could prevent others from having a not-so-pleasant outcome.
