Went to the dark side for a year but we are back with a new TC. Bought a used 2009 5vr last September didn't use it much. Then this April bought a 2014 16' Smokercraft boat. Needless to say you can't legally tow behind the 5vr in this state it was time to go back to a TC. Getting the 2014 Arctic Fox set up to tow our boat now.

The AF shouldn't need any mods to tow, except to be loaded on to the "tow rig"

Unless things have changed you can tow behind a 5th wheel in Calif. after taking a test.I have a list of the states that do & don't allow it

This is true I've seen them, don't know why you would want to or how you back them up, but it's legal in Ca.

Yea this state & Washington are the only two states west of the eastern seaboard that you can't legally tow behind a 5vr. And I'm retired 38 yrs. driving truck from everything from doubles to triples & truck & trailer hauling 11K gallons of fuel. This cotton picken state is holding us hostage.

Welcome back to the Forum fuelhauler. Towing a boat is so much easier behind a TC than a 5'er. Glad your back.
