We are probably going to be moving soon and I want to tandem tow my trailer and boat. The total length will be about 60 feet. Just seeing if it's legal in the states above. I know some state have rules about length you can tow. Any feedback would be appreciated.

 

Where you moving to Grant?

This was just posted over in the towing forum. It should answer your question.

Thanks Frank,

We are probably going out to Columbia/Jefferson City MO area. I'm interested in both the CAT equipment training program and the Aviation Mechanic program they have there. Got done with most of the honey do list as we just got our house listed and trying to sell so going to try to knock out the speakers still tonight. Will check back and check out the link you posted.

Thanks for the link, we will be going through Amarillo, TX. Just got done with the speakers and they sound awesome! I'll have to check out the links later. I have been so busy lately it's hard to get everything done.

 

thats gonna be nice gettin to jam out all the way, let me know if you need weather updates or anything it can get pretty windy here but rain is the last of ur worries i cant rember wat rain even is it seems like

 

Last I checked, it is not legal to tow more than 1 bumper pull in Oklahoma. You would want to verify that. I had a bumper pull campera few years back and put a hitch on the back to tow our jet skis, that's when I found out this information. I had already towed them a few times when a co-worker showed me the law on the Dept of Public Safety site. Never have seen anyone stopped and it is frequent on the Interstate system. If your camper is a 5th wheel, and you are towing behind it, that is legal as long as it is 1 bumper pull, at least the last time I checked.

 

Here's a good link as well. Have a safe trip.

Brad beat me to it, but I wanted to welcome you to MO as well. Columbia is a nice area to live, especially if you like college sports. Mizzou always has a good team no matter what the sport may be. Jeff City is also a very nice area as well. Slightly smaller town but very nice people. The bonus of both areas is that you will only be an hour from Lake of the Ozarks if in Columbia, and maybe 35-40 mins if you are in Jeff City. Definitely a place you want to check out, even in the off season. It's one of the most popular Lakes in the country. Everything you can imagine can be done there. And if you have a chance, the last weekend of every August is the Lake Ozark Shootout. One of the few places in the country where you can see boats go 200mph+ all for charity.

 

Grant,just checking in to see how things were going for you.

 

I was wondering the same. Hope all is well Grant.

 

Doing good here just been very busy between work and the endless honey do list of things to fix on the house. We have our house listed but really don't think it will sell now going into Thanksgiving and Christmas. We will probably pull the house off the market soon and re-list sometime this spring. Hope all is well with everybody here, I'll try to drop in a little more often.

 

grant, if/when you decide to move, and its legal on the tag/tag hook-up, i'd think a swaybar system, on back/if not both, would be wise, to keep these things inline. Good luck to ya.
