No longer able to pull trailer behind fith wheel

[dooski]

I heard that as of July 1 2008 you can not pull a trailer behind the fith wheel anymore.

 

[GRD]

First I have heard of that... Was that in the news somewhere? I know that you are unable to do that in BC

 

[dooski]

I heard that from the fire chief, we were on an mvc accident involving a pickup truck and truck and trailer and there was a discussion going between the cheif and the rcmp officer about that. I would like to find out for sure. Maybe i'll contact the dot boys and find out for sure.

Doo we where just talking about that the weekend we went Camping, thats going to suck for U if it happens.

 

[dooski]

YEH!! You are right. I guess i'll have to buy me a toy hauler like yours. We,ll have to see if this is true but i did know this was coming.

 

[bigdawg]

Agreed as it was a matter of time right BUT know could be sooner than later.

 

[dooski]

The problem is either way I look at it I still need to take two vehicles. One to haul the fith wheel and the to haul the quads (4 of them)

 

[bigdawg]

Ya thats right, U going camping this weekend? We are heading out to south fork i think should be good and muddy for qauding.

 

[catmando]

I think if it were true there would be a lot of stuff in a lot of fans.Pretty hard to keep that quiet.
catmando!

 

[bigdawg]

Agreed Catmando But we all know its coming hopfully not for a yr or 2 yet

 

[dooski]

I think we might go Im trying to remember where the south fork road is

 

[bigdawg]

HWY 22 north of caroline to the stuble lake sign go west till U cross pariare creek next road south follow that 4-5mle to the blue bridge go south a cross blue bridge to the open meadow.

 

[dooski]

sounds good. are you going out by yourselves or with some friends. i'll check with the wife and see. I would like to know why we cant tow another trailer behind the fith wheel.Can anybody help me on this. I do this all the time and don't have any troubles

 

[bigdawg]

We are going out with Dan from Extreme Machines and maybe my buddys beside me.

 

[dooski]

Cool is it allright if we join you

I have been in contact with a gent in the transportation industry, there is no indication of this happening anytime in the near future. It would have to be put into legislation and such. According to him, there is nothing in the works at all.

 

[sumx54]

We just checked it out for a buddy that works with me and the only law in place at this time is that the total lenghth of your unit can NOT be longer than 20 m or 65 feet bumper to bumper. Hope this helps.

 

[Sweigh]

Considering the percentage of the population that travels in the summer, albeit usually with just a single trailer, it would be tough to pass this law without some sort of public outburst. Especially with gas prices on the rise, doing this would only deter people from travelling even more, which, from a money-making point of view is not what the gov't wants.

 

[Summitric]

Wtf........there Is Nothing At Present Or In The Works According To Alberta Infrastructure In Regards To This.... Would Be Plenty Of Warning If This Were To Occur........ We In The Industry Would Have Learned About This About A Year Ago If This Were To Happen!!!

I pull tandem fifth wheel and quad trailer as long as you are under a set lenght sask and alberta are different and the front trailer has brakes no problem Ibeen on # 2 and they pull 2 big semi trailer or three at one time those busness would be mad if they had to pull one trailer at a time with the way the price of fuel is
