As to towing 44', ours is a tad over that.
According to my tape measure it's 44'6". The industry is full of this. My last RV was listed as 36' on Road Warrior's website and was actually over 40 as well. They have since corrected it. One thing I've learned from buying four RV's.... never trust the specs on their website...
Some of the manufacturers measure length from rear to center of pin. Depending on where the pin box is located can affect the total length. Grand Designs measures from the center of the pin I think so their Momentum's are a little longer than advertised. I'm going through this issue now as I need to make sure whatever I buy will fit in my 45 foot storage unit and know it'll be tight for sure. I'm hoping to not have to move to a larger size as they charge a lot more. I'm going form a 35 foot toy hauler to probably around 42-43 feet advertised length.
As far as the license I had to get the Class A Exempt for my 35 foot toy hauler. It's based on weight in Texas. It's not difficult but it is kinda a pain just taking the time to do it. But, it is well worth it if it's needed and one less thing to worry about. Now, California is a different story and more in depth from what has been discussed in a long thread on another forum. If anyone ever needs any information I'd be glad to help. There's a very detailed thread on the Keystone RV forum.
