This thread is about problems with importing an Avionic
trailer to America, I believe. Now, there's a form
that the importer, of a glider trailer, might need
and the form is for 'Importation of Motor Vehicles
and Motor Vehicle Equipment Subject to Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety, Bumper and Theft Prevention Standards.'

Then, there was the other thread about station wagons
suitable for towing trailers.

Hmmm. Maybe just buy an Avionic trailer which apparently
is self-propelled and not worry about a big car to
pull it. Just need a car to steer it.

Quite interesting that our federal government wants
a form for motor vehicles to apply to trailers.

Sigh.

gliders

What a joke indeed. I can build a trailer myself and register it as a
homebuilt and it will be ok. I know this for a fact. You do not have
to have anything just a declaration (at least in NH).

I got avionic to write a letter, but in reality my avionic trailer
already has a plate that says the same thing as a plate on my Toyota
Camry. To add to the insult the trailer was bought in U.S. exported to
UK and imported back to U.S. I showed them all the papers, but it was
not enough.

Everyday congress is in session they create more problems for ordinary
people like all of us. I would be happiest if they were in deadlock
for 1000 years.

What is your trailer status? Has this gone through customs now?
