I wouldn't want to be the one to argue the point in court.
BUT
If I remember right Wisconsin outlawed studded snow tires. Minnesota did not. Minnesota people were driving on studded tires in Wisconsin.
They were allowed to because the state they were from allowed them and they were transient in Wisconsin.
If this is right you should be able to double tow in any state if your state of registration allows recreational double towing.
I'm thinking the states that have a laws not allowing double towing are aimed at commercial trucking.
Years ago I got pulled over by Illinois State Patrol.
The Officer pulled me over for displaying red lights on top of my tow truck.
I told him I had to have red lights on my truck because the State of Wisconsin by law says I must have them.
His answer was your vehicle is not private registered your vehicle is registered as a commercial vehicle therefore you have to obey Illinois law which says only amber lights on tow trucks.
He made me cover my red lights with a tarp before proceeding any further.
Thankfully he didn't cite me.
