  1. Thank you Fellas for the information. Most of it has been helpful. I’ll leave y’all to your forums (not sure that’s the legal definition). Safe travels and enjoy.
  2. Thank you big5er, but I also could argue that I have in fact seen “commercial” trucks (using your terminology) with the 110” sleepers hauling “motorcycles” behind the cab and a moving van box trailers. I’m not arguing semantics, but I am interested in learning what you guys have to share. I see it will be up to the knowledge and interpretation of the law of the LEO you encounter. That being said, I am curious, with a longer rig, do you find it challenging to find RV parks to accommodate your set ups? How much does the HDT play into the difficulty of remaining in your allotted RV space? How do you guys deal with this she issues? If you’re in the 65’ or longer range.
  3. I know for the most part we are talking certain states that tend to enforce the length laws more so than others. But I haven’t seen or read much on how Canada reacts to or what their laws are on the vehicle length. I do plan to travel to Alaska and if I’m say, 70 foot, will Canada even allow me to enter? I know the questions are very basic, as I’m new to the RV lifestyle. But we are looking at full time RVing and I do want all the benefits of the HDT. I spent months (2 years) researching RVs and found the one. It’s a 46’ toy hauler. Having seen (commercial) trucks pull 53’ trailers with HDT at far longer lengths, I did not realize I couldn’t pull an RV with a truck even tho I’d be shorter than them. I had hopes of having the bike and a smart car as well. I’ll say it again, thanks fellas for all of the information and experiences you’re sharing. I am reading it all very closely and will use it to make future decisions. The HDT I am currently looking at does have the fifth wheel behind the axle. It’s good to know that it makes it easier the back than a 550.
  4. Ok, I think I understand a little better now. The fact that it is a RV puts the 65’ restriction on the combined vehicle. Regardless of my personal licensing. And I’ve read that there are people who have been ticked for length issues. That combined with the possible difficulty of navigating some RV parks and places may warrant rethinking the HDT as a pull vehicle on a longer 5th wheel. Perhaps a medium truck will be a better route. Thank you for your help and information. It’s quite helpful.
  5. I am considering purchasing an HDT to pull my 46’ 5er. My question is, if I’m over length (65’), does it matter that I do actually have a CDL? Is this length limit based on a regular License?
