jdkrause Report post Posted May 28, 2015 How strict is the enforcement of motorhome/trailer combo maximum length in the lower 48 states? Depending on the state, the maximum length is anywhere between 55-80 feet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted May 28, 2015 Probably two very different answers. Probably not a lot are stopped for length violations. But, were you involved in an accident, operating a vehicle illegal in that state would probably expose you to some real legal issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depending on the state, the maximum length is anywhere between 55-80 feet. I don't know of any 40' MH's towing a car that are 55 feet or under. MH 40' + towbar 2'+ + car 17' is about 59-60 feet.

hermanmullins Report post Posted May 30, 2015 Rand McNally's Road Atlas contains a page titled "Stay on the Right Side of he Law". In the chart it list State by State Laws on; Speed limits, Studded tires Permitted, Seat Belt Required, Overnight Off-road Parking Trailer Brakes if Weight Over, Breakaway Brakes if Weight over, MAX. LENGTH OF CAR AND TRAILER WITHOUT PERMIT, Chains Required and Flares Required. This might answer some folks questions. Most State have receptacle agreement with other states on compliance to the vehicle's registered State's requirements-laws. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
