Concerning fifth-wheel travel trailers.

SB 5824 modifies Washington’s vehicle length laws to set specific size limits for fifth-wheel travel trailers. It allows single-axle trailers up to 38 feet long (measured from the front hitch point to the rear axle) and multi-axle trailers up to 40 feet, exempting them from the standard 40-foot overall length restriction. The bill directly affects owners of these recreational trailers, which must be hitched to pickup trucks as defined. These changes clarify permitted dimensions for safe operation on state highways without requiring additional permits.
