There are so many nice set ups here.

Here is my simple rig. Been camping since 1970 when I was 6 months old. Bought my first camper the following month after I got my DD214 in 93. This is number 9 since.

Second outing with new truck pulling the Puma 257RESS on top of a B&M RVK3300.

I ripped out and reworked the bedroom for our own style. It raised the beds and opened up floor space. That is my biggest mod so far, Hope yall don't mind the share.

It is 77' overall. I know 75' is legal in most states but we haven't had any issues towing it.

That's what I was wondering. Total length in Tennessee is 65'.

Wish more states would allow me to pull a motorcycle trailer behind my Solitude 5th wheel.

Very nice set up.

Thank you. Have traveled through TN with this setup and had no issues. In fact this picture I used was at the GA welcome rest stop coming out of TN on I-75.

Does it go by where you vehicle is registered? So if my state allows say 75ft, can i legally drive through a state that limits to 65ft?

Most states that allow it are 65ft but on interstates they will leave you alone unless it looks unsafe. When we pull our boat we are 73ft long and have never had a problem. A Lot will also depend on the brake requirements for the double tow, in most states after a certain weight brakes are required.

I definitely agree with this. It is so common to see Jeeps being towed that it is left alone, for the most part. Like you said they will leave you alone unless it looks unsafe. I have a breaking system and a emergency break away system on the Jeep along with the safety chains and lights.
