Help-just read our rig may be too long

[RandMJacobs]

Just read on TravelBritishColumbia.com that the "maximum total length for a towed RV is 12.5 meters (41 feet). Maximum overall length is a combination of 20 meters or 65.6 feet."

We are set to begin our trip on June 15th. Our rig is a 5th wheel toy hauler that is 42 feet long. Our total length should be within the maximum 65.6 feet, but clearly our RV is more than 41 feet. Can anyone positively state we will be ok. I know we are big, but we are full timers and this is simply "home" to us. Please respond as soon as possible so we can make alternate arrangements if we cannot make this trip.

You are a vehicle in Combination. so you will be OK.

According to rvda.ca, (a summary of RV related regulations in Canada), this regulation applies to almost all Canadian provinces. Bet lots of folks aren't aware of it. Also, many US states have similar length limitations for towed vehicles.
