I am frequently asked about the laws regarding the lengths for towing in various states. From what I've gathered, the law in California states 65 feet as the maximum length on a Class C drivers license (that's Class D for my Arizona buddies). Longer than that requires a non-commercial Class A drivers license.
That means you can have your truck hooked to your fifth wheel and be towing your favorite water toy, as long as the entire length does not exceed 65 feet. I also understand that our favorite play places, such as Pismo, has extra law enforcement set up right now to ensure that we all follow these length requirements.
There is also some question as to the "passengers in the fifth wheel while driving" scenario. Keep in mind you must have "clear, open communication" between the driver and the passengers in the fifth wheel. OPEN is the key. That does not mean cell phones, hand gestures or flare guns. :)
If anyone has any information about other states, we'd appreciate learning more. Especially for all of our West Coast states. Thanks!
