Default How Many Characters in A TM VIN?

I'm trying to buy insurance for a TM I'm picking up this coming Sunday and when I entered the 16 character VIN given me by the current owner, I get an error message that the VIN should be 17 characters.

My TM has a 17-digit VIN, just like a car.

The TM VIN can be found on at least three locations on the trailer. On a plate riveted to the A-frame, on a sticker on the left sidewall (outside), and on a sticker somewhere inside (I've forgotten exactly where). You need to get back to the owner and ask him to re-check.

Probably easier? Assuming the trailer is currently registered, the VIN will appear on the registration. He can get it from there.

This link is from 2008 but talks specifically about what makes up a TM VIN:

Is missing a digit but would have to see what you have to tell which one. Also the first part of the VIN will vary depending on whether TM made over or under 500 units.


BTW the inside weight sticker with VIN is often on the inside of one of the doors under the sink.
