OK the OP is from AZ so ANY Ca. rule do not apply to him so lets not confuse the guy with antidote info from other states. Plan and simple if he's Legal in his home state then he's legal in all states including Ca. no matter his weight.
I have to add that your out of state license allows you to be legal in CA while on federal interstate routes and access roads but not on state or county roads. As long as you stay on federal roads or access roads for fuel or emergencies and convince the LEO of your reason why you
had to be where you are then all is well. Sightseeing or shortcuts on a state or county road is no excuse. Federal regulations apply only to federal roads and highways and individual state regulations apply to state and county jurisdictions. Hope this clears this up. (Example - triple trailers are illegal in CA but legal to first safe haven or 50 miles from the entry point whichever is lesser and within one mile of interstate is an exceotion)

Sorry for vagueness, I was referring to operating a vehicle or combination of vehicles not allowed by the state statutes for example a combination exceeding 65ft may be legal in your home state but not legal on an out of state road. (Exception is 75 ft max if both trailers equal or less than 28'6" and TV is truck tractor by definition in CA) If your combo is 70 ft then you are legal as long as you remain on federal roads within federal jurisdiction or within a mile of that federal road for fuel etc. Overweight is not excepted due to design and damage to roads so in CA if you exceed 20k per axle or 34 k for tandems you will need to drop weight to proceed (with ticket).
I believe We Cant Wait's comment concerned recreational vehicles. All said and done, I take it nothing you've stated applies to privately-owned, recreational vehicles?
