They are legal in Indiana, as Indiana has no problems with double towing. I don't know the laws for every state, but in Indiana, if it has a wheel and the wheel touches the ground, it's considered a trailer. And trailers have to have their own license plates and lights. They need brakes too, but only if the total weight of trailer and all cargo exceeds 3000 pounds.






If it doesn't have a wheel and does not touch the ground, then it's a cargo carrier. No lights or registration required.

It's not double towing due to the two point attachment to the rv. I don't have the time to pull up the supporting documentation but in context the the wheels on the ground apply to a trailer and not an extension which has been the legal determination of the Freedom Hauler/Idaho Tote by DOT/DOL's across the country.
