a set of doubles can get in where a 48 foot single can not.
as i know the dot laws, doubles are allowed everywhere on the fed and state hwy systems. (length laws can be different here).
except where the state has not fixed defective bridges,(weight thing), or just no clearance, (aka: the infamous 11 foot bridge deal), but that would include all trucks and buses. or do to ice and snow hazards. (mt passes, windy areas, etc).
but only to a point can a city just ban all trucks.
and not sure about all the states but are pu trucks not reg as commercial? they are in the western states, sure you jump through some hoops can get it changed to a rv, or show. but never tow or haul anything.
also as to the 65 foot length,
fed system allows double tow up to 75 feet,(in all states) due to a weight bridge thing.
some states say 65 feet on non fed hwys. but even then you are allowed to go up to 10 miles on state hwys, then one mile on city streets to get service, food, rest, delivery/pickup, etc. (as 75 feet long).
but under no reason should a rv try this length. pu trucks are not rated for this kind of work.
