Re: Can't find serial number

Sometimes they are just not there. Data plate fell off, pealed off, painted over. If you have a VIN from an old registration get some number stamps and stamp it into a metal plate and attach the plate to the trailer OR<br /><br />You can register it as homemade and have DMV assign a VIN registration.<br /><br />No real secrets to it but the number is usually on the tongue of the trailer.
