YIKES!!!! I guess my understanding was a misunderstanding then!
That would really leave someone who was ignorant of all the laws of any state they tow through in a very vulnerable position....
I had considered buying a small trailer to tow behind the 5er down to AZ, but would be over the AZ Length limit. I would then get a ticket or worse!

Thanks...

I think RV's are a unlikely target Randy. Many CC DRW trucks pulling long haulers like mine are over the 65' limit in many states. I never hear about them getting into trouble. However something like towing doubles is quite a bit more obvious than being a few feet over and is more likely to catch the eye of Johnny Law...

Each state will honor your ability to tow a RV in a certain wt range.


But other items like length and speed will have to be by the state.


But generally a RV is left alone unless there is an issue.

Anyone know where I can get a floor plan of a 2009 Forest River XLR 4012 toyhauler?

Scott, I can't find that model anywhere on the net. Are you sure it's not a 340X12?

Sorry, after further searching, that appears to be the floorplan for the 2010 and up model. The 2009 model didn't have a kitchen breakfast bar and the bed was flipped into the slide. The correct layout is this one:

Good find. I texted my guy at XLR who said that's the one. It's an older discontinued one that is similar to the current 375 AMP. It was their #1 selling floor plan for years he tells me.
