So I've been searching for an answer to this question for a while but haven't quite found it. I live in NJ and probably won't be finding a trailer in this state. If I purchase a trailer in another state how would I get it back home legally?

Most states offer a 10 or 15 day trip permit for this reason. The Permit must be issued in the purchasing state. Or there is always a transport company, which might be a good idea since when hauling a "new to you" trailer long distances A LOT of things can and will go wrong, ie: lights shorting, tires blowing, suspension/brakes/bearing failing!

Even bringing one from Canada isn't too difficult. Do your homework in advance and have all paperwork in order.
