The maximum speed while towing a mobile home is 45 mph.
We've all seen it before, a truck comes flying down the road towing a trailer and then a sudden curve in the road causes swerving. The truck goes one way the trailer goes the other way and hopefully no other vehicle was collateral damage.
Unfortunately this is the case most every day on the roads all across the country. What most drivers that tow trailers don't realize is the speed limit can be different if towing a trailer. It obviously varies state by state, but it's good to know what the limits are before you head out on the open road.
