I believe Utah has a max length of 65 ft.
Many have said no problem if over 65ft as the law is not always enforced.

I tow a utility trailer behind my 5th wheel with no problem.
But it is easy to forget the trailer is there as it can not be seen in your mirrors. I use a camera on the back of the 5th wheel to check on the trailer and make sure it is not swaying etc.
I have TPMS sensors on the utility trailer tires as a flat on the utility trailer will never be known until someone flags you down.
