Bruce, when I first contacted the IL DMV they told me it could only be a boat but then the guy got back to me and said that he was wrong. But they finally decided that a swivel wheel trailer was not legal in IL because it wasnt defined in the statutes.
3 or 4 years ago a retired LEO friend went to CA towing a U-haul behind his 5er and stopped at the first CHP to see if he was legal. They searched all the DMV books in his squad and decided he was ok. My experience has been ask them to show you the law and a lot of times they are wrong. Did your friend fight the ticket?
