The Green Mountain state's sweep of forests makes it prime for off-road traveling in the form of all-terrain vehicles (ATV) and snowmobiles. To keep a grip on the growing popularity of these vehicles the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requires all to be registered, including the trailers used to haul these machines.
