Well, if it's not, I'm sure a LEO will point it out to them.

What state? Was it all hooked to the MH? I don't see a problem for a competent driver.

No way is that legal. 2 hitches there. I doub't if that jeep/hummer is even hooked to the coach.
How would you ever turn a corner? Brakes? Even is this was legit, it wouldn't last long on any road without getting stopped. Exceeds overall length also. That's way over 65 feet.
Geeze!

Length limits vary by state. If it's legal in the state where the TV is registered, it is usually allowed to pass thru other states with shorter limits or no double tow law.

I've seen it with 5th wheels, but never a toad with a trailer.
That picture was at the bottom of the irv2 forums under "You may also like"

In most states there is a combined max length about 65 feet. This would be over 65 feet with the bus, van and trailer.

I wouldn't count on that though. States generally reciprocate on licensing but not on actual rules of the road.

There are essentially no maximum length restrictions on interstate highways. Once off the interstate highway, the vehicle can be broken down to Class A and Hummer towing cargo trailer. Doesn't seem like a problem to me if there are two licensed drivers to drive each vehicle.
