Verification of Vehicle (REG 31) (PDF)<\/a> form.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNote<\/span> Many manufacturers make park trailers just under the 400 square feet size restriction (for example 396 square feet), and a manufactured home can be as little as 320 square feet; therefore, it is important to locate the identifying data.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Park Trailer Boats<\/strong> (body type model CCHPTBT)\u2014A trailer with a hull which may be registered as a vehicle\/vessel (dual registration). <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Trailer Coaches (VC \u00a7635)<\/strong> (body type model CCH)\u2014A vehicle, other than a motor vehicle, designed for human occupancy or human habitation for industrial, professional, or commercial purposes, for carrying persons and property on its own structure, and for being drawn by a motor vehicle. A trailer coach cannot<\/strong> exceed 8 1\/2 feet (102 inches) in width or<\/strong> 40 feet (480 inches) in length.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Travel trailers and\/or fifth-wheel travel trailers (VC \u00a7\u00a7242 and 636) that exceed the maximum length and\/or width requirements for a camp trailer are trailer coaches (body type model CCH) and cannot be registered under the PTI program.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Note<\/span> Converter gears and auxiliary dollies may be registered under the PTI program, but it is not required. The maximum length limitation for fifth-wheel trailer coaches is 48 feet (576 inches) and the maximum width is 8 1\/2 feet (102 inches). Fifth-wheel travel trailers that do not exceed any of the following lengths may be registered, regardless of the date first sold or operated:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- All: 48 feet in length from the kingpin point of the trailer to the rear extremity of the trailer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Single-axle: 38 feet in length from the kingpin to the rearmost axle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Two or more axles: 40 feet in length from the kingpin to the rearmost axle. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Note<\/span> A kingpin is the main vertical bolt that locks the fifth-wheel to the semi-tractor or pickup truck.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor original registration of a travel trailer that exceeds 40 feet (480 inches), but does not exceed 48 feet (576 inches), the applicant must submit:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- All regular registration requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- A Statement of Facts (REG 256) (PDF)<\/a>form, which describes the vehicle and lists the length in Section G.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
