This is not the first time this has ever happened---2 things come to mind here. First use the tag from your "old trailer" or another trailer your just trying it out might buy it and drive it home,OR 2nd get a bill of sale with the serial number description of the trailer and all the contact info from the seller(name/address/phone # etc) plus some kind of proof of insurance and drive home--if you are stopped and can provide the required documentation you should be OK---they hafta give ya at least 24 hours to move the trailer some states up to 30 days but I personally would not take the scenic route and dawdle on the way back-- go get the trailer and return home--I bought a trailer from Haulmark in Indiana drove home to Illinois and never was stopped course some cops can be "penises"
