I hope I'm putting this in the right forum, and people actually read this forum. I really want to tow my little aluminum boat behind my camp trailer. However, I'm not sure it is within the length requirements by the state. My truck (F350) is about 20' long, my total trailer length for my camp trailer is 33.5' (
to tail), and I have a 14' boat on a trailer.
If it is over the length limit, what are we required to do? It is not within weight limits that would require a CDL.
I see people pulling rights this length or longer all the time around Strawberry, etc. Are the all getting permits, or is it not enforced very heavily?
I also need to find someone that can put the hitch on the back of my trailer. The boat has a weight of probably around 20 lbs or so, so I don't need anything really heavy duty. However, it would be nice to use the receiver occasionally to also put a cargo basket with a cooler. I guess if I went heavier duty, I could mount my generator back there, but that usually goes in my truck bed.
Anyway, any input on this, especially on the towing requirements, would be greatly appreciated.
