Does anyone know what it costs to get VOSA approval on a small
custom-built trailer?

Trailers need approval? Thought they where exempt or are we in a
cross over period where old ones have "grandfather rights" but new
ones need approval?

You built it several years ago, remember?

Nothing if you plate it as being built before the cutoff date

C'mon bill, surely you realise not everyone knows that trailers now need
approving,

i certainly didn't, and i was planning on building one to carry a LWB
recumbent i was going to buy that is as long as my car, so a bit too much
overhang for a rear rack,

I already have the suspension units, hubs and wheels, hitch, lights,
mudguards and so on from the dog carrying trailer i built to tow behind the
scooter when abroad

--------------------going way OT below--------------------

Everyone loved it except the Spanish cops, trust them to have a law saying
no live animals in a trailer towed by a motorbike, luckily the dumb
foreigner routine paid off and i was allowed to ride back to the motorhome
with it instead of a fine and impoundment of the trailer... my own fault,
someone did warn me before i went, but i didn't believe them.

And Mr nice Spanish cop even commented that it was the best dog trailer he'd
ever seen, I'd used an extra large airline dog crate, mounted to a chassis,
then built a roll cage around it, double rear LED lights and a flag with a
light at the top, window for the dog to look forwards (double locking cage
door at the rear), fan in the roof run from a battery on the trailer,
charged from the scoot as we drove along, and a temp sensor inside with the
display on the scoots handlebars, plus a 5 litre water container and a water
dish mounted on the front,
