As I understand it, some states have laws against personal vehicles (including RVs) wider than 96 inches on certain, or all, of their public roads. There may be reasons for this law, even though it doesn't seem to be enforced.
We sometimes have white knuckle situations on roads all over the U.S. when traveling in our short (24 foot) but wide - at 101 inches - Class C motorhome! I wish it was only 94-96 inches wide .... we wouldn't miss the reduced interior width.
Note that probably most big rig trucks are around 100 inches or so wide, hence their drivers have to deal with vehicle width issues all the time .... so it can be done.
Federal Highway statute is 104" overall width maximum. That applies anywhere and everywhere on any road that receives Federal highway funding.
Most tractor trailers today (trailers) are 102" outside. The 8'-96" wide units are a dinosaur.
