Friends;highways that are out there? Is it a federal issue? Or does it vary from state to state?
We are beginning to think about going to a larger size RV ( my current is 24') and I know that some of you have pretty big Class A units that you use to pull your glider trailers. My question: Are there any overall length restrictions (RV + Trailer) on
Thanks
ROY
It varies from state to state. When we had an RV I checked into towing
my glider behind my car behind the (24') RV. Not in New Mexico. It was
too long by several feet.

Dan- That didn't sound right to me, so I looked up the NM Trailer Regulations. It states that the maximum tow vehicle + trailer length is 65 feet, with a max trailer length of 40 ft. So, a 24 ft RV with a typical 32 ft. sailplane trailer is 9 feet

ThanksRoy, get the RV you want and don’t worry about length. A lot of us have big rigs and don’t have any problems, they aren’t looking to bust you. My total length was 73’

That's called double combination towing (triple towing by some). Towing regulations vary by state, so you need to know the laws of EACH state that you tow thru. This explains it reasonably well:

What is the maximum trailer length in New Mexico?
New Mexico Trailer Dimension Laws
Total length: 65 feet; trailer length: 40 feet (includes bumpers); width: 102 inches (allows outside width to exceed 102 inches if the excess is due to an appurtenance); height: 14 feet.
Thanks for that post, Tom.under the legal limit. However, I can certainly understand why the NM MVD would tell you differently. The State bureaucracy makes shit up all the time rather than put out the effort to look up the law or regulation. A process they have copied from the
OH, and don't try to back that rig up unless you're reeeeeeally good!
