Just a heads up: every State's DOT can stop an apportioned (tow & towed vehicle combo) for a DOT safety inspection and that where the fun begins. The DOT guys like to come down on non Commercial Vehicles, you are now their subjects. Inspecting trailer assembly, tires, lighting, method of securing load , inspect ratchet straps for proper certification) coupler, proper count and securement of safety chains etc. They will get out their pens when they see how a T' trailer is actually built and how the loaded vehicle is secured......
