Below are several sites I have found that show state laws regarding towing.  Why so many?  Well, for some reason, they vary a little bit from site to site in detail and perhaps accuracy.  So use them only as a starting point.  If you are concerned about anything particular, I suggest contacting the state's Department of Transportation, State Patrol, or some other agency that should know what the laws really are.

The Hughes Autoformer is a good product that will help manage high/low voltage conditions from the power source that can damage your RV electrical systems and components.

The Surge Guard is an excellent surge protector for your RV.  It does not manage the incoming electricity like the Autoformer does, but it will shut off the power if the voltage rises or falls below a certain level.

Go here to get your current and proposed new tire diameter by clicking on "Metric Tire Conversion".  Then click on "Change Tire Size".
