Common questions

RV length and towing questions

45 ft in 37 of the 44 states we have checked against their own law. A few allow less. Pick a state in the tool for its exact wording.

The most common overall limit is 65 ft, in 20 of the 38 states we have checked. Overall length runs from the front bumper of the tow vehicle to the back of the last trailer in most states.

Of the states we have checked, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming allow a pickup to tow two trailers, most of them only under conditions such as a fifth wheel in front or a lower overall length. Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oregon, Vermont, Virginia and Washington do not.

Most states set a 102-inch width and leave out mirrors and some safety devices, and several also leave out awnings and other appurtenances up to a set number of inches. The tool quotes each state's own exclusions.
