In this mornings mail, I finally received a 'Canada Certification Label'
for
the LoadRite Bandit boat trailer.
I need to fasten this self adhesive label somewhere on the forward part of
the left hand side.
No jail or $2K fines for me after all. That calls for a celebration!


It sure sounds like a government out of control. All you need for a
trailer in Florida is a tag ... any tag will do. I even see trailers
with "lost tag" and some numbers painted on them.
... But SW Florida has always been a "tags optional" place.


If you mean 'license plates'.....that is a provincial responsibility. Here
we have to get new little corner stickers for our license plate at $35.00 +
tax each season. We also have to get a $25.00 safety inspection by an
authorized mechanic.
My big problem was.. the federal gov't treats imported trailers the same as
imported vehicles. Thay don't trust those lax 'merican standards.

Interesting as most of that trailer was built in Canada. Quebec
actually.

What I don't understand is that the CSA standard for trailers are
reciprocal to the UL/DOT standard - I know becasue I checked before I
sold you the rig.

The sad thing is that when I talked to the manufacturer up in Dudley,
he offered to give me a new load sticker with the CSA stamp for the
trailer, but he didn't think you would need it.

Sorry about that.
