This is far from the truth; if you actually did tow on a regular basis you would know that getting spot checked is not uncommon. Just 2 weeks ago they were spot checking everyone going into a local state park to make sure:These are set by the "Tire Police". They also monitor in real time all GVWR on all rigs with campers (especially the pesky Arctic Fox), and they enforce beadlock DOT compliance. Apparently they live primarily on Facebook and are all named (or nicknamed) "Karen".
So in summary, there is nothing, be safe.
1) Propane tanks not time-expired
2) Vehicle tow rating and trailer weight
3) Trailer brakes working properly
4) All safety chains, emergency brake pull, etc properly hooked up and in good condition
5) Tire condition on trailers and RV's
6) Tags, insurance, registration, and license as required
7) If solar panels that they were physically fastened and not just "double sided taped" on. (I actually was shocked the inspector got up on our roof to check this!)
There were several setups that did not pass and that led to fines. I saw two fifth wheels and a long travel trailer that were all over the tow weight for the tow vehicles that had to be unhitched and the owners arrange a proper tow vehicle to get them back home.
So yea, it's real, and not just a Facebook Karen issue.
