California Moves to Resolve Fifth-Wheel Length
Came across this article 5th wheel length and thought I would share
Forum Discussion
- Actually 55 MPH is in a small minority of the states. Lots on 75 MPH states.

And how about fixing the 55 MPH thing for towing, that is down right dangerous with the heavy traffic going 70+! Unstable box trucks can go faster than stable 5th wheels!

actually, if you check, in almost every state it is illegal to tow over 55. It is just not enforced.
You might want to check on this, as the site I went to just listed 16 states with a towing speed limit of just 55mph, most were 65.
Actually not correct, tow speed in Utah is 75! And there are many others that are not 55.Dtaylor wrote:

X2!- How about 38ft max from king pin to axle if the 5r only has one axle. Must one big axle and tires.

Chris - WOW! 40' from king pin to rear axle. That's an RV! LOL!
- Are they going to revise the 'total length' limit.......65'??
- Now hopefully, all states will adopt legislation that standardizes the measurement.
