There's an aluminum channel with a rope inserted to form a tongue-in-groove attachment for the tent fabric; the frame is mechanically attached as well.
All in all, not a quick process to remove and much more intense to put back.

I agree with Bill
Yes I looked at that... looked to be a REAL pain to get back on correctly! If I was within a 100 pounds, I would have removed all the exterior holders, the fridge slide and maybe tried to use my AL Toyota rims to lose the last few pounds. To lose the 260 would require taking the tent off.... I received a call from NYS this morning, I have to apply for a new VIN.... paperwork is on the way. Stay tuned!

My limit is 750lbs and I dont think that I can get it down that light. I dont mind registering it, I just hate paying the Sales Tax.

Aren't you guys jealous that you don't live in Georgia where you can say that a pound equals 2.2 kilograms? :costumed-smiley-007

Seems you are as gullible as the CA DMV...

So according to the Utah state law if your trailer is at the weight limit or under the trailer does not have to be registered. I have called the DMV and the Highway patrol and they said that if I have the law printed out and carry it with the trailer if I got pulled over it looks like I have done my homework and know the rules for the trailer so they would not be too concerned. Also I have called a couple of the neighboring states and they said they judge a trailer being pulled by the laws of the state the vehicle is registered in that is pulling it.
The only downfall to this is that I cant get the title put into my name without registering the trailer. Does anyone see any unforseen problem with just having the title in hand but not changing the name over? not sure if it would effect insurance or something like that.
Also how much are you insuring these trailers for?????

I dunno... if I were an officer, no way would I believe that trailer was under 750lbs. And just like speeding laws, you're probably guilty until proven innocent.

Slightly OT but the Highway Patrol out here has some pickups with portable scales for big rigs. I imagine a similar process could be performed on a bumper pull trailer.

The DMV said that things bolted on are considered add ons so take the tent off, spare tire, nose box and contents, water tanks, gas cans and mounts propane mounts. drop legs, trailer jack, wolf pack brackets.
I bet if you really wanted to tear the thing apart you could get really close. I was at about 1500lbs with everything attatched.

I would just register the trailer so you don't have to worry about anything. CO was the same as far as the DMV considering bolt ons as accessories. I also had AT send me an invoice for just the cost of the Chaser trailer with no options. That's what I showed the DMV when I registered it. It brought the cost way down. However I had my Chaser insured for 10k to cover all of it.
