Trailer License Plate Tips

 29 Jun 23:

We reached an important milestone, we finally got paper titles for Skipper's trailers and I got the plate and paper title for the new MicroSport. Virginia keeps electronic records of titles does not issue a paper title unless requested, and when we registered the trailers in pandemic ridden 2021 we felt lucky to get just the registration paperwork. Now we have all the paperwork!

I put the new plate onto the MicroSport, Virginia offers an option for a smaller plate for trailers, which is good because there is less plate to get knocked off by road debris or boat yard obstructions. 



We like to use marine grade stainless machine screws and nylon lock nuts (nylocs) to attach our plates. The fasteners stay secure but also don't rust, so they can be removed when the time comes to change out plates or trailer light hardware. We have a little PTSD from past trailer plate hardware removal that involved grinders, vise grips, drills and lots of pirate words.
