Towing regulations
A lot of states have length regulations on trailers. Has anyone had issues while pulling a 40+ foot rig through a state that has a 40 foot max law?

Total trailer length is 44’ from rear to king pin. The wrong “public safety officer” could have fun with this on a bad day. Total length is under 65’, I was just curious if anyone out there has had any problems. Not many states post a legal trailer length over 40’.
Its not the length of the trailer is the issue its the total length of tow truck and trailer together, if its under 65 foot total as you say than you are OK in most states, however I have seen folks towing over the length without issues for years.
However towing something that big and getting around in tight campgrounds and such might be a issue..
Here is a link to towing lengths and weights in all states.
