Dear Trooper Kathy: I have a trailer and a boat, can I tow all three in Minnesota? What are my restrictions?Perfect timing for this question; I am glad you asked. You can have a three vehicle recreational combination; however, there are rules.The three unit recreational combination consisting of a pickup truck towing a fifth wheel or gooseneck type camping trailer with one additional trailer, which carries a watercraft, snowmobile, motorcycle or ATV, are allowed with the following restrictions.ß Tow rating of the pickup truck is equal to or greater than the weight of all the vehicles being towed.ß Combination is connected according to state law.ß The fifth wheel camper does not exceed 28 feet.ß The entire 3-unit combination does not exceed 60 feet.(It is not 65 feet as commonly thought)ß Driver must be 18 years or older with a valid driver’s license.ß Cannot be driven in the seven county metro area 6 to 8 a.m. or 4 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.Remember the combination must be recreational vehicles. The length of the three units will include all of its sections, for instance; the motor of the boat to its rear-most point. A two-vehicle combination (car hitch-boat) cannot exceed 75 feet and the unit towed cannot exceed 45 feet. When towing, brakes are required on all trailers with a gross weight of 3,000 pounds or more. Brakes are required on all wheels of a trailer manufactured after June 30, 1988. Every trailer with a gross vehicle weight of more than 6,000 pounds shall be equipped with a breakaway brake device that will automatically apply and hold the brakes should the trailer accidentally become detached from the towing unit.If you have any questions regarding traffic safety and or traffic law please write Sgt. Kathy Pederson at Minnesota State Patrol, 1800 East College Drive, Marshall, MN 56258. Sgt. Pederson will not offer advice on specific situations or real events which involve law enforcement.
