It's that time of year when my travel trailer needs to get inspected here in PA. That's going to require Terry and me traveling up to the Bolt Hole where the trailer is stored in the barn and hauling it down to the Aerie. I've already made an appointment to get it inspected for Thursday morning. So, it will be up tomorrow, down on Wednesday and then back up on Thursday. That's 750 miles (250 each way) just to have a technician walk around to check the tires and lights. And I haven't used it since last September. *sigh*
Once I've returned the trailer to the barn on Thursday evening, I'll be staying at the Bolt Hole for a week or so. Early black bear season starts on Saturday and I've got my hopes up.
New Jersey didn't have this requirement. They probably thought if you were dumb enough to take a trailer out when it wasn't safe, you deserved whatever happened to you. And they were right.
We do have a Big Trip planned for early next summer that will take us out to the left coast and back with stops in between. Family and friends and all that.

if your not using it till next year, why get it inspected now when your going to need to do it again before you go next year? it's been our experience, that even on a long trip, just cause the sticker is current, doesn't mean a camper that has been sitting through the winter, not moving is road worthy..........just a word for thought........
It has to do with insurance among other things. Besides, who knows, we might just want to head out before our planned trip.
