Question:
I am considering the purchase of a Malone Kayak trailer and have a question about licensing process for the state of CA. Do you know the process or what is required to license a kit trailer in CA?

Expert Reply:
The Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks # MAL43FR will come with a Title/Manufacturer Statement of Origin which you can take to your local DMV to have registered and licensed. You will want to check with your specific state(California) on any additional requirements they may have and their exact licensing process for a trailer.
