Is this legal?

It is not allowed anywhere in Canada to have anyone travel in a Travel Trailer or Fifth Wheel.

In some provinces (check with the provinces ministry of transportation) you are allowed passengers in a truck camper.

I would also check in each province that every passenger in a Motor Home must have a seat belt and a proper child seat.



To think of what we did as kids. I remember riding in the back of the truck camper and we had one of those blow up inserts that went between the back window of the truck and the little window in the camper so it was open and accessible. We passed everything through to the front of the truck especially lunch. We had a back seat in the truck and the smaller of us kids would go back and forth.

I guess you have never been to some of our large airports such as ATL, DFW, MSP ect. They all have driverless trains running between terminals.

aren't they all running on a fixed track?
news flash. elevators now run without an operator.

Never done it, but I'll bet the best way to get the In laws to NEVER want to come along again would be to have them ride in the back of a trailer for any distance at all. Just give them plenty of barf bags so you don' have a mess to clean up.

maybe some folks wouldn't mind it, but I can't imagine it being a pleasant experience.

Nebraska is legal. That shocks me to no end. I'm 40, and not into any of this wussification of America lifestyle we seem to be living in, but man, i can't even imagine riding back there.

The ride alone would have to be terrible, but man, think how tragic an accident would be. All trailers i've seen crash, basically explode.

Oh, so everybody better sell their motorhomes, or have them shipped to your destination and drive your car there instead.

Ever seen a m/h after a relatively minor accident, let alone a rollover?

I think its like a HALLMARK MOMENT opposite. You know, Show them how much you care and stick in the RV for the trip over the hills and mountains

Looks like I was right about OR.

Well, I wouldn't count on that site for accuracy - it says that Triple Towing is not allowed in Colorado, and it is!

Also, never understood why some folks call it triple towing - It is Double Towing if you are towing two trailers. Now we do see a lot of triples on I-70 here in Colorado - UPS, Fedex and numerous other OTR companies have their semis pulling three trailers. I see them every day.

While none of the sites showing towing laws should be accepted as 100% accurate, I have always found This One to be pretty good. To be 100% you should alwayd contact the DOT for the State in which you are going to travel.

That towing world site has so many inaccuracies about Montana law that I don't want to try to list them! Do NOT trust that site if you are going to visit Montana! MCA (Montana Code Annotated) 61 has all the vehicular laws for the state, beginning with MCA 61-1-101, Definitions.
Montana avoids the doubles/triples controversy by using truck/trailer; truck/trailer/trailer; or truck/trailer/trailer/trailer in many of the State Codes.
