Where would you hookem on a fifth wheel to cross over under the front and support it??
Attached is alink to a list of states that have trailor requirements (this is probably only the states that replied).Remember just because your state does not require something, doesn't remove you from civil action or even another law that would cover the situation, for example Georgia has no trailer chain requirements, but in the event of a detached trailer, an officer may write you for failure to secure load (would probably not happen unless there was property damage) or he might write you for one of many laws that are so vague, that they are often left up to the officers interpretation and eventually the Judges decision.Civil suit, on the other hand, knows no boundries, if they can show deliberent indifference (there is not a law, but you were aware of the potential dangers, just go back and search any forum you may have ever posted on, ex-wife, ex-friend or stupid wife/ friend haha) I have seen two fifth wheels come loose from the hitch, they both landed on the pickup bed side walls, causeing damage to the truck but were easily controlled, fw are very stable, I think that goose necks are recommended / reqired to have chains, as most usage was with flat beds and therefore could easliy slide off (as time goes by GN have become increasingly more popular with RVs, who use regular p/u beds (I used one as a way to have more bed space. http://webspace.webring.com/people/jv/vintage_campers1/StateSafetyChainLaws.pdf
No. For example some states allow triples - try that in a state that does not. A street legal vehicle in AZ may not be street legal in CA. (Think rhino, quad, etc) Reciprocity does not apply on Motor vehicles 100%.
Why must you always apply logic?
Because I am German. (And right)
Well,I'm about 1/4 German and a quarter Dutch. You know how right the germans are and how stubborn the dutch are................................ Fast you going to cut 3 feet of your toyhauler for Glamis? I'm not. Remember Ariz and Cali are 40 foot max.
