Insurance on new to me trailer bought in the states

[vangoalie]

I bought a new to me trailer in Washington from a private sale and need to tow it home and get inspected. Can anyone tell me about the insurance, I understand I need an ICBC rider and then I can tow it home, is that the insurance. do I need anything else from the DMV in Washington? I know a lot have you have done this on here and there is a wealth of information here.

Thanks

3 day washington state permit (it has insurance so no need for icbc rider) is all you need, and it is valid in Canada

thanks

Any DMV office in the states will sell the $33 3 day permit. Not to say No Luck is wrong but I was told it was only valid to the border then I prebought a 1 day ICBC permit.

Trailering a US bought boat to Canada

If I purchase a boat in the US and I haul it back to Canada, I image I have to get temporary plates or permits for the various states. I know some of you have done this. What is involved in getting these permits?? I know about separate bills of sale, titles, letter from trailer manufacturer...
