Where is this legal?

 

That is sweet, Would be a monster to pull around as well though. I wonder how many campgrounds that beast could fit in as well.

 

Might need a freightliner to tow that around.

 

Appearently in NC.

I wouldn't want to have to manuver that thing... or pay the fuel bill to pull it...

Basically looks like a temporary house while something else was being built, maybe?

 

I was thinking that or something on a movie set. I know some of the huge teton homes trailers start their lives there.

 

I can tell you, that unit is NOT going to go in any campground that I know of. I struggle sometimes finding a place for my 40' coach (though I rarely stay in campgrounds). I wouldn't pull that monster with anything less than a class 8 truck. If you put a single-screw cabover in front of it you might be able to stay under 65', but it would ride like a buckboard. I'd go long and ignore the length limit...I have talked to guys running 70' for years w/o so much as a problem legally. Don't get in a wreck though. Rich, you understated it "For the love of..."

 

I see 52' tandems here all the time...thats 104' in just trailer....

Now I know the northeast you would run into problems...but out here in the plains and midwest... it would be just another trailer.

 

Holy Cow!! and I thought my 34 footer was a handful to maneuver !

Smokie

 

That is two pivot points correct (a "B-train")? A single pivot (truck-trailer combination) vehicle is limited to 65' except with overlength permit.

 

I can say that is legal to tow up here in BC. Recreational vehicles are exempt from weight restrictions here as long as every axle has its own brake and they are electric. Guess there considered low mileage, occasional use. That said. I am so jealous! I paid more than that for my 41ft raptor. Its beautiful as well, but that is the mac daddy of all trailers. Amazing price. If my truck was running I'd be on my way to scoop that puppy up. I could sell mine and put cash in my pocket, even with exchange. Geez this dead truck is stinging.

 

From what I read on the federal highway administration....

Federal Size Regulations for Commercial Motor Vehicles - FHWA

There is no maximum lengths and it says states can't limit lengths...

 

All that means is there is no federal length limit. Each state sets their own length limit (and almost all states that is 65 feet (two I think are 70'), but all states must allow reasonable access to over-length combinations...a mile or two beyond the state line). In addition, the longest single trailer that can be pulled in most states is 53'. I watch them measure CMV's regularly at weigh stations. If that wasn't enough, the combination must meet the Federal Bridge Law which regulates the distance between the axle pairs!

 

There is no overall length limit on the interstate system, and the states can't preempt that. The reasonable access part applies to off interstate routes.

 

So did you make an offer.

 

No thanks!
