Double Towing

Looking for input on those who currently tow doubles or have towed doubles. Especially if you have been over lentgh, 65">. Have you had any experience with law enforcement, and the results.

  • Recreational doubles are not allowed in some states and I do know that here in Michigan you must have a Recreational doubles endorsement on your license.
  • I have been measured once but I am under 65' by about 6" and this is in Alberta and was on a secondary highway.
  • I double towed for eight years with a 2500 chevy/26' 5th wheel rv trailer/18' bass boat 63' total length in OK/TX/AR/MO/KS/CO. The only place I was taped for length was on a small secondary state hiway just 11 miles from home when county/state doing roadside insurance and safety check points.
    JMO but it looked like state dot was training county folks what to look at with a motor vehicle/combination (proper breakaway system/length/safety chains/lights/insurance/DL/tie downs/etc.
