I'm not sure where you got that idea, but it's absolutely wrong.

Just an example, in North Carolina, § 20-116. Size of vehicles and loads. (d)(3) says;

(d) Maximum Length. - The following maximum lengths apply to vehicles.

(3) Recreational vehicles shall not exceed 45 feet in length overall, excluding bumpers and mirrors."

-and-

(e) Except as provided by G.S. 20-115.1, no combination of vehicles coupled together shall consist of more than two units and no such combination of vehicles shall exceed a total length of 60 feet inclusive of front and rear bumpers......."


There is NO mention of Commercial or Private, it applies to ALL vehicles operated in the State, regardless of whether it's a NC licensed driver or another State.

As mentioned earlier, vehicle weight and length limits are NOT covered by reciprocity.
