Okay Glenn, if you're upset because California enforces the same law that applies to most other states, then you should keep out. California (especially So Cal and the Bay Area) tend to be more tightly packed than a lot of rest of the Country and oversized vehicles should be regulated.
Yep, will do. We are still saying the same thing, not sure what the issue is, over length stay out of California.
No we're not saying the same thing. The only law you've provided an example of that California is actively enforcing is the 53 foot trailer length. You are not violating that law. The law you would be violating is the overall vehicle combination length law. As far as I know, law enforcement in California is not actively enforcing that law on a regular basis in California as I see over length motorhome-trailer combinations on the road here all the time. Also I have yet to see somebody on rv.net post a story about getting an over length ticket in a RV with a trailer.
So if you are advocating avoiding California simply because there is a law that says you can't be over 65', then you have to advocate avoiding every single other state that has the same law. And by the way, New York also has a 65' length limit. You need to make sure you avoid New York.
