Longer recreational trailers allowed in Washington

Beginning June 11, 2026, Washington allows fifth-wheel travel trailers, travel trailers, and motor homes up to 46 feet on public highways. This is an exception to the general 40-foot vehicle limit. A fifth-wheel travel trailer is made for recreational camping or travel, has no motor, and connects within a pickup truck bed. Its length runs from the center of the kingpin to the rear bumper or rear cap. The kingpin is the metal pin that forms the pivot point connecting the trailer to the pickup.
