Louisiana does require an annual inspection for all RV's. Their definition of an RV includes all types from class A's down to any trailer that hauls a boat, 4-wheeler or cycle. My TM is inspected every year. The sticker is not placed on the trailer and must be carried in the tow vehicle at all times.

Evidently this inspection requirement has been on the books for a long time. The state started enforcing it in the northern parishes in the summer of 2006. The first time most of the boaters found out about it was when the inspection traps were set up just outside of the boat launch areas. They were given tickets for no inspection stickers on the boat trailers as they left the launch areas and entered the highway, first offense, no warnings were given. Needless to say, this has not been well received by the local sportsmen.
