Lenght of RV and trailer
Thinking about buying a stacker trailer. Would make my RV with trailer 75 ft long. Anyone have troubles when it comes to the law?

I have a CDL and have a triples endorsement With 28 years. Don't confuse commercial permitted operations with joe blow rver ! Over length laws are not reciprocal. Ea state sets their own length and weight restrictions on their own roads. Commercial operations can pay for over length triples etc generally , again depends on state but, joe public can't.
For example Oregon allows commercial triple tow i.e. UPS pays the state for the permit which I had to have in the cab .. Wash and Cal do not allow triples , no matter what my personal license says . To add to it Oregon does not allow non commercial multiple tow.
How does this apply to length or your Rv combination ? Only to show ea state sets rules on length and weight. The drivers license I carry only allows me to do what is legal in the state I'm in. Commercially or non .
A foot or two over and non commercial ? Nobody's going to bother you ,In my opinion of course . Commercial ? You bet ! there's $ to be made and most scales also check length. But since your not crossing scales ..... Plus most cops don't know weight length regs ... The state dot ( the guys in the scale house ) do however.
