Too wide? Legal Width Restrictions
Very recently I came across a Coachmen brochure which mentioned that some states restrict access on some or all roads to vehicles which are 96" or less in width. Looking into this further I found a document that listed 22 states (by my count) which restrict vehicles to 96" in width on non-designated roads. Tennessee restricts vehicles to 96" in width on all roads.
My newly acquired Coachmen Freelander 30 QB is 100" in width. So I'm wondering what real world concerns I should have.
Has anybody ever been ticketed for having a vehicle that is too wide? Has anybody ever had their vehicle measured? Has anybody been forced to have their RV towed out of a state where they were in violation of the law or been told to drive to the nearest border?
Is this something I should be concerned about or should I not worry about it as I plan my cross country voyage?
Thanks.
