Thanks for these initial replies. While I agree people should keep proper paperwork, it seems that the rules and said paperwork varies from state to state, especially when it comes to trailer weight/size vs registration and insurance requirements. Are there any New York State owners here in this forum would could share more specific experience and details? Cheers

What else do you need to know? As Renny said, the website has pretty much everything you need to know. My trailer weighs 1600 lbs empty, so I had to get the inspection (somewhere in Queens I think), and they gave me a VIN sticker and registration. The biggest hassle was driving the trailer into the City. They gave me no trouble whatsoever during the inspection, but you don't need to go through all that as you're 1000. http://dmv.ny.gov/forms/vs105.pdf
