Too big to travel? (45' X 101")
New poster here! Looking for your advice before I purchase a new Motorhome. I'd like a 45' long class A that's 101" wide, but I see there are many States here in the US that you can't drive something ...

Not too hard pressed because somebody posted a photo of one. And that manufacturer did make many more. I did a Google search and see they were well aware they were illegal and yet made and sold them anyway and people still drive them. I'm surprised a State Attorney General or somebody didn't shut them down. It looks like bankruptcy eventually is what shut them down.
people think my coach is rare....kingsley is even fewer in numbers ! its easy to fly under the radar when every coach is custom and your numbers are (probably) under 100 produced !
just cause you find pictures of it on the internet doesnt mean theres 100s of 'em.
i have friends that pull stackers w/ their 45' foot coaches (like mine) that are over the permissible length limits....theyve never been stopped & i know only one owner that does it properly (applying for permits & registering his route).....the manufacture (especially now that theyre bankrupt) had no liability...the owner / driver will.
left to traveling alone you'd probably never be bothered (over 45')....but go to a race event & the DOT/Troopers have been KNOWN to wait outside the track to check, weight, length & permits.
I didn't say there were hundreds of them. I said the manufacturer made many more. I'm just wondering why some government agency didn't shut them down. Car manufacturers would be stopped in a heartbeat if they tried to produce and sell a car for use on the streets that was not street legal.
