Does anyone know how to register a homebuild trailer? Do they require you to have fenders? Do you need to get it inspected?

No inspection required, they have a homemade trailer form that you fill out with approximate value and if the parts came off another trailer, take it in to the DMV and leave with registration and plates.

they will also assign a VIN which is just a sticker you put on the trailer somewhere near the hitch

you will need to know dimensions, weight, and whether you bought parts or not and how much spent if so. Also, if the trailer is over 14' you have to have an inspection done to see if there is an existing vin. oh yeah, length does not include tongue. oh yeah, they also finally upgraded the stupid sticker to a metal plate.
