Can RVers Legally Pull Two Trailers at Once? What About Passengers Riding in Back?

This RV website is one of the most helpful places you can visit for information about traveling with your RV. It will tell you the towing laws of each state and Canadian province. It also lists some campground information, dump station locations, events & festivals and a host of other important information about each state and Canadian province. It breaks down the campground information by county. Here is the homepage: RV Travel Guide

  • When in the FL Keys last April I met a fellow with a fifth wheel towing a jet ski from GA. He had never been stopped. That got me thinking. When I got home I went to the Maryland State Police to ask about the possibility of towing a small boat behind my Cherokee behind our class C for a short distance. They could NOT find anything on the books prohibiting the practice and said they would not stop someone doing so.
