Answer 1

That's right just say it's home-made unless it has a ser # on it then just use that number.

You'll need a bill of sale from the previous owner thought as proof of ownership. Get a bill of sale for around $20 or so to keep down the the taxes.

To get it weighed just take it to any weigh station up on the Hi-Way they'll do it for nothing or estimate.

Answer 2

Please...... such advise!!!!.

Answer 3

He is right. And I'm in Ontario as well.

DO NOT USE any serial number!!!

If there is a number grind it off. Just tell the license office it is home made and dummy up. In fact look them up in the book and phone them.

I'm not sure you need to worry about how much your trailer weighs...they will usually have some referance.

Take anything official and "Retail/Manufacturer" looking off the trailer and paint it if needed. You don't want the MTO or OPP looking at your Homemade trailer and finding retail comsummer info and plaques or stickers.

THINK!

Good luck. :)
