About blocking the license plate of the tow vehicle... doesn't hooking up and towing a travel trailer "block" the license plate of the tow vehicle? You can't read the vehicles license plate, really, unless it is stopped and you walk between the tow vehicle and trailer.
I feel a little bad that the makers of the folding trailer can't post... I understand the reasons why, but a bit of a bummer.

Yes, but the TT has its own plate. A better comparison would be towing any utility trailer that doesn't have a plate. (Tennessee doesn't license utility trailers.) The utility trailer blocks the view of the tow vehicle's rear plate. However, a trailer is an age old thing that LEO's are used to. Having something ATTACHED to the rear of the vehicle blocking the plate is not a thing they are accustomed to.

Lol, who cares….
Just use the thing in WA. You can’t get pulled over for obstructed license plate…or expired license plate, or wrong license plate. Or no license plate at all! Hahaha

Hopefully they are still reading the comments and getting ideas.

Some people will say nothing is not allowed until you’re forced to stop. I came across a guy who lives in south central FL and has a class 8 truck conversion motorhome and car hauler combo. It is 70’ long so he can’t legally even pull out of his driveway. He claims he’s been running that setup for years with no issue.
To each their own.

This points out something I have said for years; Most LEOs do not know what vehicles are or are not legal in their state. The cops most likely to know (Not always do) are the ones that inspect CMVs. And because very few of the regulations they normally find violated don't apply to RVs, why should they ever look?
I have looked at whole thread, found no reason for a 2 wheeled trailer that changes into a no-wheeled trailer. You want to block a CG road while you unload, then fold a trailer? (Of course some that pull RV are willing to block the road because don't bother to practice backing)
Now I have friends that have to deal with HOA, would get snot for pickup in drive, let alone trailer keep trailer from Harbor Freight that folds up onto casters, stores in corner of garage
