These requirements are different in each state. Most states prohibit passengers from riding in a fifth wheel while it is being towed, but some states, such as California, do allow it under certain conditions. Make sure you are familiar with your state’s requirements. If you are making a cross-country journey, research the requirements in each state that you plan to pass through. Some common restrictions include the age of the passengers who are allowed to ride and the type of exit that you must have on your trailer. You may also be required to wear a seat belt while riding in a towed fifth wheel. Fifth wheels tend to have more space than other types of RVs, so it can be tempting to want to move about the living space while on the road. Remember, though, that safety comes first, and a moving trailer can be a safety hazard, especially to small children.
