I'll be very blunt, NO there is no compendium of RV laws that you can use to stay legal in all states. There are a few that purport to be, but they are wrong, over 33% of the time and can get you into trouble.
Also, the folks that think "reciprocity" applies to everything are also wrong. The 40 states that are subscribed to the reciprocity act only give you reciprocity for your drivers license, registration, insurance and inspection requirements. You have NO reciprocity for any other law affecting vehicles or vehicle equipment.
The ONLY way to get factual information is to contact each state directly and then it may change by the time you get there.
THERE are the FACTS!!

ANY so-called "List Of Towing Laws". EVERY such list I have seen has been wrong about many of the laws in Montana. For instance, the length of a combination of vehicles. MCA 61-10-104 is very clear about it, but nearly every such list of laws has it wrong!
for Montana, go to MCA 61 and start reading. By the time you get to the end of Section 61, you will know a great deal more about Montana road laws than most law enforcement personnel!
