Towing Laws
 

Instead of re-inventing the wheel here, let me direct you to some other web pages that do a very good job of covering this topic.  If you have any questions about the information from these sites, please direct your inquires to them, not me.  When in doubt, check with the state's Department of Motor Vehicles (or equivalent).

State Towing Laws 2
State Towing Laws 3

Also, check out the Rand McNally Motor Carriers' Road Atlas that may provide additional information about height, weight and width restrictions on specific roads.  Navigate to the "travel store", then look for "road atlases".

Note:  It appears that more and more websites that used to list towing laws for the U.S. and Canada are no longer up and running.  Perhaps they grew tired of trying to keep their pages up-to-date (that's why I haven't done my own).  It might be best to check with the states or provinces that you will be traveling through to find out what their laws are regarding RV's.
