John: While I said earlier most jurisdictions honour home state or province rules and regulations, what they really want to know is the owner identity of every device that has rubber on their road, in case of accident. They don't want you being able to say to yourself this trailer is not worth the hassel and unhooking and leaving it at the sceen of accident. If there is a home state trailer licence you can buy, it does give you absolute proof. The Kansas plate on trailer may save you some roadside conversation with local county mounties.

Another item to watch for is having an add on fuel tank in pickup. Highway tractors have to log fuel and miles in each jurisdiction, to make sure each share the fuel tax according to use. A guy I know put a 100 gallon tank in front of F-350 pickup box, hitched his fifth wheel RV and set out to tour America. He was hasseled about this the entire trip across Canada and back through US. His advise was go with standard fuel tanks on pickup, then authorities know you must fuel up in every state or province.
