New Fifth Wheel
 

I finally found a camper to match my truck. Its a brand new 2014 Montana High Country, 3 slides , 34' foot long, 3 tv's and alot's more. I'm already enjoying it. The only down fall is i cant pull my boat behind it, to long.

Sweet! Let's see the truck you're pulling with

Sorry dont have any pics of the truck, i should of took some when i went pick it up.

You say it's too long to pull a boat. Is this a law? If so, what is the max length?

70' total length if I'm not mistaken. State law. Each state is different in the legal lengths and width.

Check again law is 60 ft maximum

My dad had checked into that as well, and I thought he said 60 feet total length for Louisiana.

In Louisiana its 70 feet u can go

Saw that also. Trying to find what is correct.

I can't get the DOTD stuff to load for some reason.

Oh and the odds are they are not going to mess with you if you are a little over the limit if you are recreational.

They don't mess with us too much on length either.

They hardly ever mess with regular folks. Put a company logo on it and it's game on.

Yeap thats what i here also.
