Not sure, but I do not think so.

He is using a commercial style puller and I bet he has CDL licenses with over 75ft length endorsement to boot, with that you can triple pull over length in just about any state.

I would not try that on a standard motorhome with basic license.

So how are some of you getting away with towing over 65ft, most states have that limit, some have 70ft like Nevada.

Easy, I don't worry about it. I have been overlength for over 14 of the 21 years of RVing now and have never had an issue. At the races we used to talk about length laws quite a bit as many were nervous about them. Then we just quite worrying about them.

I have not been back east but have been all over the western U.S. and parts of British Columbia and Alberta with our setup and never had an issue.

Mike.

On edit, I would like to point out that having a name on the side of the trailer is a no-no anymore. This draws much more attention that length because then they don't look at you as an RV any longer, they consider you a "commercial vehicle". On our last trailer we had our shop name on the side of the trailer and although we never had an issue, we opted not to put it on our new trailer. All of this was happening around 2007-2009 and we ordered our new trailer in 2008 and did not put our shop name on the trailer to avoid any more attention than necessary.

I have posted this on here before---North Carolina allows 90ft if involved in motorsports NC motor vehicle laws 20-116 Size of vehicles-N.....I to have been from NH to Fl to MO and have yet to be stopped at 72ft.

I know you asked for DP's but...50ft total.

I was watching a rerun of Extreme RVs the other night and one family had an RV that the back of it was a horse stall. Not sure I like horses that much.

Nice rig.

That is a good question.

I have not come across a good answer as yet.

At the track (here in New York, the most regulated state in the states)people regularly pull in with rigs over 85 feet. There is one unit that comes across the boarder (Canada) weekly that has never been stopped.

Some suggest that it is because RVs do not have a commercial tag.

I'm at 72 feet and never had a problem and go to races from Kentucky to New Hampshire.

I suspect that if there was a problem (accident, speeding ticket, etc.) there would also be a citation of over length.

I know people have problems going into California.

I would like to here input on this.

Any more?
