A couple weeks ago I received a letter from the Wisconsin Dept of Transportation advising me that the fee law requiring people who pull a boat, ATV or other toy behind their fifth-wheel or travel trailer has been repealed. We are still limited to the total length to 65 feet or less plus the camper must be equipped with brakes...

So if your 75 years old you should be able to pull a longer load than that, if you do please post the hwy's you will be on so I can stay home or take another road.

You say that there was a law that requirs people to pull an ATV or other toy behind a fifth-wheel or travel trailer? I have nothing to pull behind mine so I'm glad they repealed that law.

I was wondering the same thing! Then I read the post after his, and I wondered some more??? Must be some cabin fever or something...
Anyway thanks for the info, do you have to get a permit?

Some people can't take the subject line and the text of the OP's message to a logical conclusion. Wisconsin considers a TV, 5er or TT, and another trailer behind the 5er or TT as a "train". The fee Wisconsin used to charge on said train has been eliminated.

I'm still confused. What does any of this have to do with being 75 years old?

Relax guys, Supercharged is a troll. Look at his posts in his profile and just ignore him.
Is the fee drop just for recreational towing or all haulers ??
