Fact is by California vehicle code does not specify an RV as an over-sized vehicle. If it were you'd be required to follow oversize vehicle procedures when traveling roads/highways.

I did a quick glance at the California Vehicle Code, and it doesn't talk about "oversized" vehicles--it talks about "overweight" vehicles. The city ordinances regulate parking of vehicles based on their physical size, not their weight, so there's no conflict between those ordinances and the California Vehicle Code, and the cities aren't trumping it.

There are no if and or buts about it. They are counting on 99.9% of people not knowing this. I have personally seen many people just send a check in the mail all for nothing simply because they did not wish to take the time to challenge it.
