[QUOTE="jopickens, post: 665173, member: 9167"] I did some quick searching before I started pulling doubles and was disappointed with the results... WV wasn't on the list. I've seen so many trucks pulling 5th wheel campers with a boat in tow travelling thru WV I assumed it was legal. Anywho - here is some quick info - which in my opinion should be verified with the state you are licensed in. And by saying that, I don't believe just because your particular state may allow it you are legal to travel thru a state that does not. I've never seen anyone pulled over for it tho... not that it's done often anywho. [url=https://rv-roadtrips.thefuntimesguide.com/triple_towing/]https://rv-roadtrips.thefuntimesguide.com/triple_towing/[/url] Pulling double is allowed in the following states: 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 Utah Exceptions To The Rule Of course, nothing is ever straightforward and simple though. Many of these states have a variety of restrictions which could still hamper your ability to tow two trailers. For example, some states limit total length of all 3 units to 65 feet. In some instances, the limit is 70 feet or 75 feet total length. In some states, triple towing is restricted to adding the second trailer only behind a 5th wheel trailer. Many states limit the second trailer to recreational equipment, such as a boat, snowmobile, or ATV 4-wheelers. Triple Towing Laws By State There are 2 websites that list information pertaining to trailer towing rules and regulations for all states: Woodall’s Rules of the Road – This site appears to have the most information. In fact, it provides more information beyond simply whether triples are allowed or not. As an example, here in Minnesota triples are allowed, but the second trailer must be recreational equipment such as a boat, snowmobile, or ATV 4-wheeler. Towing World – This site provides a good chart, but it is missing some important information. Online Towing Guide – This site summarizes state towing laws across the U.S. Of course, these resources should be looked at as basic guidelines. Keep in mind that laws change and information can get mixed up in translation. The only way to get completely accurate information about triple towing is to contact the Department of Transportation or Highway Patrol offices for your state and any states you plan on traveling through. If you do consider towing 2 trailers, be sure to follow all regulations and safety measures! You will be accepting a whole new level of responsibility with that second trailer. Your ability to maneuver in close spaces (or to stop safely) may be reduced considerably. One thing’s for sure, you can forget about backing up with this combination! Getting everything to turn the way you want in a triple-tow configuration will be next to impossible.
