Where Do I Look If I Can't Find the VIN on a 1997 Doo Little 20 Foot Trailer?

Expert Reply:
Usually brand name trailer manufacturers will indicate the unique vehicle identification number (VIN) on the same plaque that carries their brand name, model number information and the trailer specifications.
If you cannot find the VIN on the trailer tongue you can check for plaques on other parts of the trailer. It may even be stamped into the frame. Perhaps you can find some helping hands to assist you in moving the trailer around to check its underside (especially near the axle and on the primary frame members) for any additional markings or labels.
It could be that the original owner did not register the trailer due to the absence of the VIN number. If the model number information you found was on the trailer coupler, rather than on the trailer frame itself, it may be that the coupler was commercially manufactured and added to the trailer at a later date as a replacement part.
In cases of trailers that have no VIN which can be fairly common, your local state police or highway patrol can assign a VIN number for you.
