Draw your own conclusions.

My understanding is that if it is registered on another state that allows longer then 65' like the Nascar people, that they can actually come into the state without being stopped. That is what I was told by another RVer. Not sure!

Pretty sure that is wrong. Licenses reciprocate, but equipment laws do not. If any question, CALL the state before hand, otherwise......

I know LOTS of RV'ers get away with being too long. Seldom do the cops bother them. BUT, they can at any time.

In the states surrounding CA, you will see many FedEx, UPS, Walmart, and other trucks pulling three trailers....You will not see those in CA..why...because the CA laws have a length limit that restrict those 3 trailer set ups. Same thing with RVs. However, the CHP seem to overlook the 65' length limit for RVs.

I live out in the desert and every weekend and especially on 3 or 4 day weekends, you will see the off-road people come out in hordes. Many have large 5ers that are also pulling a trailer for their toys or large motor homes with the trailers also. The double towing rigs (5ers plus trailer) are legal with a CDL, but their lengths (being over 65') are not. Yet, you never see one pulled over by the CHP.
