Rookie RVer here :C I want to know what the rules / law is regarding maximum driving length, and if specific driver's license required.
After years, and years of begging I finally got permission to upgrade from the family's financial adviser. One idea is to get a toy hauler. The other idea is to get a Class A and a 16ft trailer (hold two ATVs). Do you know if there's a special driver's license requirement for......let's say.......a 30ft Class A towing a 16ft trailer?
Where would I start to research this?
I am not familiar with RV laws in Texas so can't help with that but at 30' MH and 16' trailer plus tongue you are only going to be in the 50 - 52 foot range and well under having length concerns.
Having had TC and trailer, TH, MH and trailer, doubles with FW and trailer I can say they all have their pros and cons.
I loved my TH but at 40' it became cumberson. I would do a TH again just shorter.
Doubles allowed me to bring everything or just the FW or just the trailer for the toys. Would use this again for bondocking out in the desert but this combination was a hassle in campgrounds.
MH with trailer for the toys is easy travel and setup but leaves me without a car to go for supplies or just into town for dinner.
TC and trailer was my personal favorite but the DW thought it was too cramped and didn't like the bed situation.
Currently we are using MH and tow a truck with the toys in the bed. This gives the ease and comfort of the MH, the truck to haul the toys to camp and also allows us to run to town in the truck.
