To my knowledge, only ICC-licensed (Interstate Commerce Commission) vehicles are required to be inspected at state borders. HOWEVER - under the requirements of their own state's SAFETY and MOTOR VEHICLE statutes, some states may require the inspection of so-called 'private' vehicles to determine if they are properly equipped and safe to be towed within their state. Rather than research ALL 49 of the continental states I'm afraid that you will have to do your own research for the particular states along your route.
The Auto Clinic, Action Brake & Auto Repair, and Jones Auto all offer state inspections for Missouri, and are located in Independence.
Your auto insurance covers the trailer as well so there is no need for travel trailer insurance.
Currently, 18 states require auto inspection on an annual, or bi-annual basis. However, several states have "inspections" that are simply detailed emissions tests, designed to reduce the level of air pollution in metropolitan areas, at the suggestion of the EPA.
Unlike some states, Ohio currently does not have any emission regulations. No inspections will be needed in order to register your car.
You can find auto trailer dealers in the Los Angeles area by doing a google search with the keywords auto, trailer, dealer, and Los Angeles. Some include Truck and Trailer World, Heacock Trailers Repairs, and Number 1 Liftgate & Trailer.
Most stores like Pep Boys and various other auto repair places have a mechanic on duty authorized to do vehicle inspections. In most states requiring inspection they have state operated garages.

Any auto parts store can get them for you.
Someone can buy a hitch for their trailer on eBay, U haul, Auto Accessories Garage, JC Whitney, Auto Zone, E Trailer, Hitch Depot USA, The Hitch Store, and Mechanics Warehouse.
Yes. In Colorado a trailer would be covered under the auto insurance policy. If you have a fifth wheel or camper I would recommended and insurance policy by itself on it.
Nope, you can't.
Only the liability is automatic. Collision coverage is only provided if the trailer is listed on the auto policy. If it's a borrowed trailer then it is up to the owner of the trailer to have collision coverage. If you are at fault in the accident it may be possible that your property damage coverage could apply.
