RV and trailer lenght.
I have a 40 ft RV and will be pulling a 32 ft trailer. 80 ft total lenght. Is that legal?

No. Lot of laws are dictated by safety.
In California beside crazy traffic, whenever I drive sooner or later I will find a grade that can be 15, 17 of even 25 miles long.
This definitely is not a road where triple semi trailers can drive without creating hazard. The same will apply to 80' long RV.
Similarity I experienced with trailer law, where in CA anything above 1500 lb has to have brakes.
Than I was offered new 7000 lb no brakes trailer in Nebraska.
It might be safe to tow small bulldozer on trailer with no brakes on flat land in Nebraska, but don't try it coming down in heavy traffic from Sierra.
What I noticed UPS is doing, they double, or triple tow in Oregon, than they rent small parking lot close to CA border and change the sets to single trailer to carry it down to CA.
