A trailer VIN, or Vehicle Identification Number, is usually 17-digits long and includes information about the manufacturer, trailer length, number of axles and production year. A trailer's width is not included in the VIN.
I linked for you a photo that shows an example of a VIN and the characters that indicate each bit of information. Characters 1 through 3 indicate the trailer maker, characters 4 and 5 indicate the specific product line (trailer series name, for example) and the 6th and 7th indicate trailer length in feet.
