Overlooked yes. This is what I said in two of my previous posts. But the letter of the law is 102" TOTAL. Anything over 102" is a wide load. 102 is NOT for the box. It's the limit for the TOTAL width of the trailer.
Article from 2005 said that RVIA had worked with all the states except NJ on rules about items extending beyond the RV. Figure it's probably safe to assume that they have since addressed that with NJ and we're all safe. I don't think this is something manufacturers would have ignored.
"To date, 42 states have signed RV width legislation and RVIA reported that Alabama and New Jersey currently have bills that are poised for passage RVIA said the bills stipulate that overall width does not include awnings or other “appurtenances’ that extend off the sides of RVs.
New Jersey remains the only state that must still address all three RV dimensions issues: maximum length, maximum combination length and an exemption for the appurtenances when measuring the width of an RV.
RVIA has a bill in process that addresses all three of those issues."
