No such message in my owners manual ,, I simply say how much I can tow. (15.000#)
AS long as you are below your legal gross vehicles weight and legal in your home state the lawyer can touch you. (for that )
News Flash! Home state speed limit 80, speed limit where you at 55, 80 will get you big ticket. If your Blood alcohol is over the limit where you at, they don't care what it is at home. You legal towing 2 trailer at home, but the state you are in does not allow? You better have a plan, 'cause adjustments will be made. Over length?
Many do not understand, if your drivers license is good at home for the vehicle you are driving, then you have no DL issues. But if the vehicle is not legal in the state you have no right to drive it.
states have reciprocal agreements that allow other state vehicles to operate legally .
I'm sorry, I thought the OP's question was directed to finding out where he or somebody else can tow his car without putting brakes on it. When the false idea "if your vehicle is legal in your home state it is legal in all states" is put out somebody needs disagree with it. On something like window tint, which regulations often change state to state, and enforcement city to city, taking a chance might make sense. But something as important as brakes, where if you don't have brakes in a state that requires them, and you are in a accident, you have problems.
The brakes on a vehicle are designed to stop the GVWR, plus some margin for safety. If your GCVWR is higher than your GVWR, your are driving in the margin.
Fact 1)A RV is very unlikely to be checked roadside to be certain he is compiling with safety laws.
Fact 2)A very high percentage of RVs travel state to state.
Fact 3)A certain percentage of RVers assume rules do not apply to them.
If you add 3 facts together, and the OP's question is on the level of "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck?" Responsible people will not worry about the laws, but put brakes on the Toad. Others will hunt for excuses not to.
