Hi, I'm Albert Hedgepeth with Expert Village. Today we're going to talk a little bit about trailer maintenance. One thing people tentatively overlook whenever dealing with trailer maintenance is making sure that the vehicle that's pulling the boat or the trailer itself is registered and registered appropriately and making sure that the tags are current and registered with the department of transportation. Trailers do not have to be inspected, although it is a good idea to inspect your trailer on your own. Another thing that?s not required is insurance with a trailer. The insurance of the vehicle is actually what covers any damage that?s done by the trailer, so unless you're looking for theft insurance, its probably a good idea to make sure that you speak with your adjuster just to get an idea of what they recommend you should keep for insurance on your car while towing your trailer. If you go ahead and make sure that your license tag is current, if you keep a recent copy of your registration in your car while you're towing your trailer and that you go ahead and get some insurance to cover any liability damages that are done while you're pulling your trailer, most of the times you end up on top.
