Not if you register it in Maine!

I don't live in New Hampshire or Maine. I live in an 8% sales tax State/County. I bought my ProLine trailer in sales tax free New Hampshire and registered / plated it in Maine (via the US mail). No sales tax paid!

Lucky!

Wiring is just fine outside the frame...If it's well protected, sealed, and not cheap primary wiring.

As above, RNR makes a great frame. The axle on mine isn't simply drilled through the frame and rest on the axle perch. They used a bracket to mount to the side of the frame, therefore no holes in the frame, and the brackets provide additional strength.


But they need a basic example how to do wiring. I replaced all my wiring on my 2020 ARC 12.

1. Use marine tinned wire. Regular copper turns brown and then disolves in the salt.
2. Run the wiring in a automotive heater or fuel line hose.
3. Crimp, Solder, Seal, and fasten all wires. My ground wires are through bolted into the frame (coated with dialectric), not just a sheet metal screw.
4. All of my connections are a little unorthodox, but they work! I solder the connections, then put a household wirenut on it. Then fill the wirenut with silicone. Finally cover the connections with some gorilla tape. Electrical, chemical, mechanical, and vibration proof.
5. Invest in a quality coupler, a cold weather pre-molded connector lead, and a distribution box.
