Check out this rig. Amazing. I would have my head examined if I even considered pulling that.

I don't think it's a fake. Here's another with different colored graphics (I think).

The blue one is a known fake. You can see where the background repeats under the trailer between the wheels and the front end a couple times. The red one is real though. That was a monster that was illegal on the road when it left Weekend Warrior's plant. There were quite a few built and sold.

Over the legal length in many states.

That's what I was thinking. Wyoming is one of the most generous states for length. I think it is somewhere around 85' total length. Others, like Colorado, are as low as 60'. Washington DC is 55'. No way I would consider pulling an RV Trailer within the city there!

I wish I could remember the exact length. I'm pretty sure it was built in CA and was illegal on their roadways when it left their plant.

For those who bought them, I wonder if there was any recourse due to them not being legal? Or were they just stuck with a mega bucks rv they can never use or at least risk being ticketed?

Not sure. That was the old Weekend Warrior that made them though. They went bankrupt and out of business. Weekend Warrior of today shares nothing but the name with the old company.

That red WW is huge, and considering how overweight most of their old THs were I can only imagine how heavy that monster is!
New Jersey has one of the shortest truck/trailer combination length limits at 50'. I bought my current TT in Jersey, with my Hensley Arrow hitch my EX and TT measure 61' from bumper to bumper. Have pulled it all over the Eastern States without issue. Has anyone here ever been hassled about the overall length of a truck and RV trailer?

Never been hassled about anything when towing Tom. Length, weight, etc.
