Dig a little digging around the outbuildings and found the dinette seat cushions and the sofa/bed cushions. Pretty shot but at least I can use them as a template. Also think that once I start cleaning to move the trailer to a better spot under the covered area I'll find more things. Under a huge mound of blackberry bramble it looks like the old stove ore fridge was throw out and probably other parts in a pile that is long since been taken back to nature. Also discovered that there is an Oregon plate on the trailer that I can only see one tiny corner of it but it's a old plate that is a color I've never seen for an Oregon plate. So at least it was registered at some point here. Going to contact the dmv to inquire about what I'll need to do to get a title. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The large pile in front of the trailer is where I think most of the stuff that was pulled from it is now living. My goal is to clean up this whole space to use as my work shop. It's amazingly dry underneath considering the age of the structure.

Well got the plate uncovered and it was last registered in 94 and titled to owner of the house(husband) who passed away in 2004. Since there are still living relatives it technically wasn't abandoned in the eyes of the dmv. So now I get to try to get the power of attorney of the wife to try to help me out. Need to get a notorized copy of an inheritance affidavit filled out, copy of power of attorney and bill of sale plus title transfer fee. Guess it's time to start making some phone calls. But at least the plate light is there! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

See, here's another reason to think twice about purchasing a trailer with a bill of sale only. Always check with the DMV before handing over more money than you care to lose. Don't believe anything the seller tells you. You just never know what kind of headaches might be waiting for you until you run it through the DMV. Sometimes the DMV can even help you get the thing registered by telling you step by step what must be done. Many times it's just a statement of facts.. But at least you know what you are in for.

The shelter does look very sturdy and is a perfect place to build a trailer!
Congrats on the plate; I believe you WILL get a title. The plate is the ticket.

All depends on if the power of attorney wants to take the 15 mins to fill out and sign a few papers. I've met her a couple times seems like a nice lady trying to do right by the owner of the house who was a dear sweet lady herself. So once I get her contact info from my boss. (Takes 3 emails a phone call and then cornering him to get him to do anything) I'll hit her up after thanksgiving. I'm not out any money yet so if it happens it happens. Not sure I wanna go full frame off my first time but sounds like fun to me.
