twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Okay so, admittedly, I don't know a whole heck of a lot about RVs... but I found it interesting this weekend that our sales rep made a comment about an RV show this next weekend in Atlanta... he said that all the sales staff had to drive a Class A, while towing a 30+ foot TT. That seems like quite the haul to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ependydad...Doug 176 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 You gotta get those TTs there somehow! I parked next to a chatty fellow on my way to Alabama. He had a 40' class A and was towing a 40' car trailer. It was pretty incredible to see. I don't see how he didn't need special permits at that length. There was also this guy in Clermont, FL that I camper across from. For travel, he put his HHR (or PT Cruiser) inside as well as his golf cart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 There appears to be alot of leeway when it comes to RV's vs commercial. I talked to numerous people at the FORT who double tow, over length and they've been told by the po po don't drive crazy and you probably will not be stopped. Several are even FL residents.

twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Yeah... I guess I never really thought about how they got them to the shows :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I try to stay FAR away from those RVs on the road. Seems very risky to double tow... at least with your standard truck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 My wife's late uncle had a commercial license in NY. He used to go crazy on the wimpy laws and lax enforcement in FL on the various types of commercial rigs. He would've gone nuts seeing a double camping rig! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Also, think of the added expense getting these rigs to a show. No wonder the "show deals" aren't so spectacular. They need to recoup those huge fuel fees and wear and tear. Same thing with stadium car sale blowouts. They have the salesmen and lot boys convoying for a couple of days bringing their inventory miles from the dealership, then they have to take all the unsold cars back. All that wasted time and $$ gets tacked on somewhere, the dealers sure aren't going to eat it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I try to stay FAR away from those RVs on the road. Seems very risky to double tow... at least with your standard truck. 38 states allow it outright. Most only with a FW and that seems to be the "out" in FL , their law says with a trailer and they don't classify a FW as a trailer,but in TN for example you can use a TT. Here's the list. Alaska Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maryland Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Mexico North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma South Dakota Tennessee Texas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I would be more concerned with mid size suv's pulling 30'+ TT's. I saw some truly scary rigs on my 1200 mile roundtrip to the Fort last week. Driving 55 while swaying can't be too fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith_h 420 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 The people across the street from my mother tow a +30 ft TT which tows a 20 some odd ft boat behind that. It is perfectly legal where she lives in Montana. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
