no.
My understanding is that It cannot stick out over 16 inches outside the bumper of the vehicle.
Not illegal, but stupid.
It is illegal to leave it unattended.
Not unless the rest area has signage prohibiting trucks in it.
No it's not illegal to repossess a car outside the state. It is illegal to leave the state with the car that you have defaulted on the loan.
Yes, it is. Whether you are the striking vehicle or the vehicle that was struck, it is unlawful to leave the scene without exchanging information or calling the police.
While it might not be illegal in some places to lock a running vehicle, you may find that having a car running with keys in the ignition and no driver to care for the vehicle would invalidate your insurance as the vehicle was NOT secured. By not having insurance, the law is broken anyway.
Too little tongue weight can lead to an out of control swaying condition causing the tow vehicle and trailer to fishtail, leave the road, overturn, or hit other vehicles on the road. The ideal tongue weight is 9 to 15 percent of the gross weight of the entire trailer.
I'm guessing you're talking about the plug for the lights not a battery on a travel trailer. You have a short in the wiring somewhere. Check the trailer harness for a pinched wire of even a bad socket. You will probably blow the fuse in the vehicle if you plug it in and leave it. Use a battery to isolate the problem while testing.
No ask UHaul - you can bet that their lawyers have given them guidelines as to what cars can adequately pull the trailer. Their advertising says that basically any car can pull it. The main question should be what your hitch is rated for. The 1999 Ford Escort officially can only pull 1000lbs (see owners manual). So the answer really depends on 2 things - whether the loaded trailer will weigh more than 1000lbs and how comfortable you are exceeding that limit assuming that your trailer hitch is rated for more than 1000lbs. I am fitting my 1999 Escort wagon with a 2000lb hitch for pulling a small pop-up tent trailer this week, so have nothing further to report on the little car's ability to pull a trailer weighing slightly more than 1000lbs up long grades, etc. A few things to consider when towing a trailer: - go slow - leave lots of extra room to stop - use lower gears on hills and grades to reduce likelihood of engine overheating - turn off air conditioning on uphill grades Something for you to consider.
Well...you would probably be alright. it is illegal to leave the scene of an accident. the accident has to be reported if there is any significant damage to your vehicle.
Yes. In a trailer park you are paying rent for the space for your trailer home.
