I was surprised at the 65' limit so many states have. My regular 40' motor home and little 24' trailer is 3' over length about everywhere. Dumb-azzed me, I wasn't aware of that before I bought it. Luckily I have not been stopped yet. Most are longer than mine.

Best advice I ever got was from Jeff about trailer tires. Also (same dumb old man) I wasn't aware trailer tires are only speed rated to 65 MPH. Now have Micheleans speed rated at 112 MPH. The 10 ply side walls he recommended also stopped the sway when meeting or passing big rigs. I would not use my DP's trailer tires on my trailer. Talk to Jeff about that. He knows.
