I'm not going to go into everything, cause otherwise this will be stupidly long.
So to make a long story short, I almost didn't get the trailer. The guy was arguing it was sold, and I'm arguing hell no I put a deposit ( which I did ) The guy is in NH with his Girlfriend AFTER I told him I would be by around 11 in the morning to go over things. While waiting for said numb nutz to get back I call the NH DMV and talk to them about the trailer, because this was the last place it was registered. The confirm what is on the Reg, 28' 3000 lbs. So I call the MA DMV and ask them about it. I'm told all I need is a Bill of sales and the old registration, because NH is a non title state. With those I can title the trailer myself.
The idiot finally shows up and I tell him what I need. He gives me the old Reg and I head to the local DMV to get this done ( all the while I had my Insurance company set up all I needed ) When I get to the DMV they tell me that the bill of sales is written wrong and they can't do anything. ( [moderator edit] Mass ) So tired, frustrated I drive back, back up to the trailer, have the guy write up a new Bill. I'm sticking my neck out here and I just hook up to it and pull it out after giving the guy the rest of the money. I'm pulling this thing almost totally illegal. ( it was insured )
Now, if this trailer weighs 3000 lbs I weigh 200 and I don't. I'm pulling this thing with a 2008 GMC envoy, which thank GOD is rated for almost 6000. Depending on where you look it weighs between 4300 and 4800 lbs. Truth be told it was the most TERRIFYING thing I've ever done... I've never pulled a trailer like this in my life, and at one point a cop blew past me with sirens going that gave me a heart attack. However the trailer honestly pulls well for sitting still for so long AND being so old.. not a single problem on the tow.
I get it home and just go into my house and go to bed, I'm EXHAUSTED even though it's like 5 pm. I get up the next day and go to the DMV fingers crossed. I'm Called up in the DMV in record time.. like 35 minutes tops. I get to the counter heart pounding and explain what I want to do. Lady takes all the papers, looks everything over, grabs a plate, puts everything in the computer and hands it all over to me. I didn't HAVE to title it because the old reg says 3000 lbs but I get a title anyways so I can prove ownership. I walk out of the DMV almost skipping. The trailer is mine, Legit. If I have to because it's more then I can handle I can easily sell it.
It's not pretty, and it needs work, and I don't know where to start to get parts if I need them for it.. but it's mine... and I'm willing to try very hard to make her something livable. I'll go through it later and take pictures all around the outside and inside and post them later if people want.. for now... she's home
