## About this plate

WEST VIRGINIA TRAILERS, MODELLED AS ONE SERIES OVER THREE OFFICIAL CLASSES, and flagged as a simplification rather than pretending the state agrees with us. West Virginia splits trailers three ways (C, T, R) on weight, tow vehicle and habitability.

## Who can have one

TWO CLASSES, SPLIT AT 2,000 POUNDS. Class C: all trailers and semitrailers EXCEPT house trailers and trailers/semitrailers designed to be drawn by Class A motor vehicles, having a gross weight of more than 2,000 lb. Class T: trailers, boat trailers or semitrailers designed to be drawn by Class A vehicles with a gross weight of LESS than 2,000 lb. Class R is a third, separate class for travel trailers (temporary living quarters). (WV DMV Motor Vehicle Classifications)
