See them all the time, going into and out of California on I-8 in Yuma. Do not know of any state that has declared them a trailer.

I see these quite a bit in Ca. All it is a "frame extension" type classification. Im not all to sure with the lingo. Because it doesnt really have an axle or hitch attachment it is not a "trailer or a vessel." Im also not sure on how far back they can extened to.

For the states that allow these, there is still a total length restriction on your entire rig. Exceed that length, and then you may be in trouble. you may never get cited for exceeding the length, unless you commit a moving violation, have an accident, or get stopped at a random sobriety check point (which is becoming common in Indiana).

That will get you pulled over....Alot!!!Enjoy :)

Did Mr. CHiP quote a statute? Did he put out an official memo? Did we get the name and address of Mr. CHiP so he can come and defend you when you get a ticket?I suspect not. The problem is you are in a gray area. If you read the websites that sell these, they do a lot of implying that you will be fine but are very careful not to claim they are legal.As someone else said, odds are as long as you keep your nose clean, they very likely won't make an issue of it. If they have reason to pull you over, they may decide it's a trailer. Even if you win, you still have to take it to court and pay the court costs and lose that time.You takes your chances.
