In the semi you have one set of rules while on the interstate (federal) and a 2nd set of rules off the interstate (state). Just like overall length some states limit width to 96" vs the 102" which some builders are now using. Normally a state will give a couple of miles to and from the interstate for pickup and delivery, fuel, etc. With a 43' 102" trailer you maybe exposed to some of that even though RV and commercial have different rules.
If I tended to sit in a park and not move around I might opt for the additional living space and move via the interstate. If I wanted to be mobile, run the US roads, I'd stay compact to stay within these limits for peace of mind and avoid issues.
You mileage may vary. :)
