- Bethany_CarolinExplorerI carried out the LAST clothes basket of "stuff" to the house. Cleaned out the frig & put a fan blowing in it..making sure it's dry! Swept the floor. Now, there is a basket on the table for "stuff" going back in. ... .... :>)
- magik235ExplorerI got mine out of storage today then I tightened the bolts that mount the air conditioner.
- TMBLSNExplorerIf you find the rolling eyes rude, talk to the moderators, they provided them.
Again, it doesn't matter if it doesn't even stick out beyond your mirrors. If the antenna is beyond the 102" width of the 'vehicle', then it's illegal.
It could be attached to the 'back' of the mirror, so that it doesn't stick out at all, and it would still be illegal. Only the mirror can be beyond the 102" width of the vehicle.
It doesn't get much more straight forward then this. - adamroofExplorerwow... send the cops and the grammar police. I'm sorry about those that hurt you in life, but "rolling eyes" is straight up rude, and those that you pass your anger on to don't deserve it.

In your second link, this text can be found... "Recreational vehicles are not CMVs subject to Federal size regulations (Figure 16)."
Yeah, go with that, you aren't subject to any width restrictions. :R
You are still subject to width regulations. I was attempting to link to national information, rather than get state-specific.
Obtrusive 'extension' (not extrusion), or not, anything beyond 102", that is not actually part of the mirror, is not legal.
My class C is 102" wall-to-wall, with the mirrors extending beyond that.
Those plugs will look real nice... :h - adamroofExplorernothings "messed up", but thanks for your concern and information.
You are not seeing it in the correct angle, its not that obtrusive of an extrusion (lol fun to say). If it doesnt work out at this location, for width or signal reasons, I have white plugs at the ready.

Most states have a maximum vehicle width of 102".

Most states have an allowance for mirrors to extend beyond the 102", but your antenna does not fit within that exclusion.

I believe that you messed up a perfectly good mirror and need to mount that bracket on your front fender. - adamroofExplorerAdded Shelving

Increased storage room!
Started the CB Antenna wiring and mounting
(still need to paint bracket and finish heat shrink and will probably return antenna for a white one) - applegaterExplorerSanitized the fresh water system and refilled on our new C. Getting ready to have new alloys in stalled Tues.
