Hi all - a related question:
If a city has a maximum curb weight (as defined in the city’s MOTOR VEHICLE REGULATIONS IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS) of 8,000 lbs wet
How will I stand with a current Ford F350, biggest longest version, with an approx 2,500 lb (wet) Pop Up camper - always on board. Daily driver.
In other words - how would my rig relate to an 8,000 curb weight, the limit for residential vehicles in tat city?
Also in other words - would the (always mounted, daily driver) pop up camper’s weight count towards my curb weight? (in the eyes of the city)
the exact wording in bylaw is :
Any motor vehicle having a curb weight of eight thousand (8,000) pounds or greater. For the purposes of this Section, "curb weight" is defined as the weight of a motor vehicle with standard equipment, fuel, oil, and coolant;
thanks! :-)
What other state/city other California consider a pickup over 10,000# automatically “Commercial”! I think it is high time in these RVers get politically active and see about changing some of these stupid laws.
