This is what I do. I have doubled in both States and called them both before hand. Both told me they have no laws for RV's. Funny thing was that in both states I had to drive around the court house in the both city's to get to my destinations. One was Guntersville Alabama and the other was Cummings Georgia. LOL!

Again, I would call them personally and get it from an actual DOT officer's mouth. Their laws could have changed yesterday.;)

If I were seriously concerned with the necessary laws, I would contact the state DMV for information. The statutes you find could be superseded by new ones but not be posted, and information you get second-hand is not always correct.

I've towed double in Georgia and never been stopped, but YMMV.

There are several different web sites with towing laws such as Towing World, RVsafely, and others.

Note that it will often be listed on these various sites as "Triple Tow", not double tow or towing double. The terminology has been beaten to death here, but in the RV world triple tow means 3 vehicles, the tow vehicle and two towed vehicles.

We've towed all over, and want current input regarding lawful towing in Alabama and Georgia. I would appreciate SPECIFIC reference to statute, not generalities. And advice is appreciated
