the trailers 30 feet, think it's about 45 feet when on the transit, it's only 3 feet longer than a standard transit pickup and car trailer.

i ahve just renewed my mot licience and something that was brought up was vehicles fitted with fifth wheels, its coming more common usualy f150 pickups, it turns out any vehicle fitted with a fifth wheel has to have a hgv test at the local goods vehicle test centre if you dont believe just douvle check with james at motorsport he'll confirm this, from that id say you also need the hgv licience hope this helps

i cant say about the licience for sure but for mot its defo a hgv test, usually if there is no load on the fifth wheel you can drive it on an old car licience, as son as you connect to the fifth wheel it usually reverts to class 1
