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?

According to RVIA the shortest maximum truck/camper combo is 55 feet for Maryland and the District of Columbia, all other states are at least 60-82 feet for the combo.
It's always best to read the actual published law when understanding how it may or may not impact you.
Maryland's specific passage
(1) Subject to paragraph (2) of this subsection, a combination of noncommercial vehicles consisting of a power unit and a travel trailer may not exceed 65 feet in length.
(2) The combination of vehicles exceeding 55 feet but authorized under this subsection may only be operated on:
(i) Any part of the interstate system or other State system highways that are designated by the Secretary in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Transportation; or
(ii) A highway that is the shortest practical route between a designated highway and:
1. A point of origin or destination on a particular day; or
2. For a distance not to exceed 1 mile, facilities for food, fuel, repairs, or rest.
