In the above list, here is a state that DOES limit to a fiver followed by a watercraft, ATV, etc. (pretty specific if you ask me...)

MINNESOTA
  • Maximum RV width 102 in.
  • Maximum motorhome length 45 ft
  • Maximum trailer length 45 ft
  • Maximum RV height 13.5 ft.
  • Maximum lengths for two/three combinations 75/70 ft.
  • Three-vehicle combo must be a fifth-wheel trailer, maximum length 28 ft. + watercraft, ATV, motorcycle or snowmobile. Riding allowed in travel trailers, fifth-wheel trailers and truck campers.

Chucky,

I am glad the know about Minnesota law. That is just one state. I know that Iowa allows it. Limits, I know not. It is poor conjecture on your part that you think that the OP would just jump out and pull something without checking based upon your experiences in Minnesota. I can guarantee you that Texas is waaaay different any any ways than Minnesota.

I was understanding that the OP was asking if people do it or not and advice, NOT if it was legal or not.

That would take more time than you or I have to figure out.
