Philip,
Could you point me at the part that says no inspection is needed? I have been through those and do not see that specific part.
General update:
I have been back to the licensing place, showing them the new form given to me that says the records no longer exist since it has been more than 6 years, and they agree that there is no point to keep trying to acquire non-existent records.
By the way, I have had more luck dealing with the auto licensing place than with the county auditors office. I think the one makes money for everyone they help as opposed to the county auditors office that are government employees. I am not sure if this is the case but the auto licensing place seems to be trying to be more helpful and accommodating, maybe because if they can help me they make more money.
Anyway, so they think it is time for me to schedule an inspection to start the ownership in doubt process, which is sort of what I have been trying the whole time. I need to make the trailer road worthy, so I might throw some lights and a deck and fenders on it and make a little utility trailer that I can later turn into a teardrop if it seems like the right thing to do. I am going to try keeping the Vin as is, although it sounds like a new Vin might be assigned. I hope this will be the best thing, as it will save me form having to replace the fully functional hitch coupler with one without the Vin. Plus if there is a hidden Vin somewhere it is less likely to bite me.
Wish me luck everyone. Although it might take a while to go through this process! I will try to post updates as warranted.
Eric
