This happened in Ohio. Here are the Ohio rules for RVs. Note...it WAS illegal:
Ohio
Size limitations: Height, 13'6"; Width, 8'6"; Trailer Length, 40'; Motorhome Length, 45'; Combined Length, 65'.
Required equipment: Safety chain, breakaway switch, brakes required on trailers with gross weight rating of 2,000 pounds.
Triple towing is permitted if total maximum combined length of 65' is not exceeded. Passengers may ride in pickup camper only. Overnight parking is not permitted in state rest areas.
This is just common sense. A pickup vehicle is more safely sound than a stapled-together RV. Why take chances?
