Default Trailer Inspections

Thanks for all your help on my out of state trailer issue.

Here's what's going on. I called the insurance company that insures my private SUV, they told me essentially what DRH said. My vehicle is covered and if I cause liability to anyone else they are covered through my vehicle's insurance. What they also told me is that if I own the trailer I have to insure it within the state it's registered, but if I borrow it no problem they just won't cover damage to the trailer.

Regarding ITDs posting of Massachusetts law and my situation. The trailer is actually owned by a corporation. That corporation is a duly registered NH corporation. So as far as the law goes it is not my personal property and I am borrowing (very infrequently) the trailer from the corporation. To the best of my knowledge I don't anticipate the trailer ever crossing into Massachusetts, but hey you never say never!

That brings me to my latest question....

I was told by the folks in NH that I had 10 days to have it INSPECTED!

I had never heard of this before but apparently trailers over a certain weight are required to be inspected by the same gas stations etc that inspect cars and trucks.

I am planning to have the trailer in Gilford Wednesday the 26th of July. I am not looking for an "easy" inspection (the trailer is brand new so it had better pass!) but I am looking for a physically easy gas station to get in and out of in order to get the inspection.

Any suggestions? I'll be near Patrick's Pub.

Thanks
