Tandem towing

[Pete Masterson]

It's also illegal in many states, including California. There's two
chances for a major ticket (1) dual trailers are only allowed with
semi-truck rigs (commercial class A license) and (2) over length
violation. Most states have length limits ranging from 55 to 70 feet.
With that combination of vehicles, it seems likely that there is a
length violation in most states.

I will observe that it is quite possible to travel some distance
without attracting the attention of the highway patrol... on my
maiden trip, home from near Dallas Tx, via Oklahoma, Kansas,
Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and Nevada into California. I had a "paper"
license plate that was only semi-visible in the front window of the
coach. I was only stopped by a trooper in Nevada -- who also admitted
he was primarily curious about what kind of RV it was...
