NC Hauler,
What does it matter how much I know about this topic? That's why I'm asking a question. I want to learn about this topic. I want to know if it's a problem to tow longer than 40 or 35 and if people solve that problem by getting a different license. I learned a little bit from lawnspecialties answer. If you don't want to answer the question that's fine, you don't need to get upset about it. Maybe you're offended that somebody noticed you might be breaking the law when you travel from WV to Texas.
No, I told you I DO know the law and you interfaced with some sarcasm. Thats why I answered the way I did. Ive got all my ducks in a row and know what is law and what is required, and have the license for it. I was asking about thoughts on TH and difference I might need to pay attention to when cornering. Unit is 5' longer than current one. If I ruffled your feathers in return, I apologize.
There was no sarcasm in my post. If you want to point it out I'll apologize if I'm wrong.
"This unit puts you over 40 feet long which I read is regulated in some states. What are you plans for travelling with that in mind? Do you need to get a special license or do you think you won't get pulled over? "
I felt that was sarcasm speculating that I might be too naive to think that "I" might not get pulled over.( it's the way I read it)..I don't "assume" anything...I haven't gone into this blindfolded ; I've checked on what I need for this set up, (been about a years worth of research and preparedness.),,,,I don't speed, My truck, towing this TH will probably be under it's GVWR still yet...unless pin weight get's up to about 4500#...but if were to do that, I would still be WELL under my trucks RAWR and loaded, with weights I have based on my 5er hooked up, I'm at 25,250# CAT scale..If I loaded to 20,000#, "ball parking another 3700#, I'd be at 28,950#...a good 8800# under my trucks GCWR.
I took the part where you stated
