I just recently had to buy another license plate for my trailer because the old one got all crunched up and I was wondering where everyone mounted theres? Thanks

Most all the ones I see are molded to the fender.

Zip ties with some play will work in a pinch. 95% of the time it will not get crushed that way.

Fender is best.

What he said, but I keep mine under the drivers side tail light where a little white LED strip keeps it illuminated at night. Make sure it can flap a bit or it'll get torn off.

The secret is.....to ask for the "small plate"....about 1/3 the size of the regular size license plate......

Last year I asked for the smaller size plate as well. Nothing for the State Patrol to flash lights and run my numbers as before, since I downsized.
