Michigan motorhome laws
 
I know this was discussed a while back, but I can't remember what was said. We are planning on going to Stanton, MI in a couple of weeks for the divisional race and are wondering what the length is for motorhomes and trailers?
Thanks for any info.

My guess is that MOST motorhome/trailer combos are too long for many states---hell some states have a max length as little as 45 feet while a lot are in the 60-65 foot range so with a 36-40 foot RV and a 28 foot tag trailer your gonna be over length--- heck a 30 foot RV and a 24 foot box trailer puts ya right 58 foot---either the laws need to be tweaked some or racers better watch out for enforcement cops you're gettin by on borrowed time on many of those rigs!!!!!!!!!! ---gonna cost mucho buckos if ya do get caught

Guess I should have looked into that before I bought this last one. My old gasoline rig was 34', which was just under. Just the trailer box is 24', this motor home is 40'. I see longer motor homes with longer trailers all the time. Now I'm nervous. Do you guys just pull one over that looks like it might be three feet over? Don't think you would, but how about others?

Thanks everyone. I guess we will just do like we did when we went out west last summer and not have any advertising on the trailer and not speed. Hopefully we can just obey all the other laws and they will ignore us!

Thanks again!

that 30 foot RV and the 24 foot box length DID NOT take into consideration the drawbar which is 4 feet at least so 30+24+4 =68 feet---congradulations you are overlength!!!!!!!! by 3 feet---ticket time---40 RV+4 drawbar+28 box trailer =72 feet uh oh too long you win a ticket!!!! Ya gotta check into these things fore ya plunk down that money---lotsa guys in the same situation---40 foot RV and 20 foot boat ya just might make it under 65 foot overall length---look at all the guys hauling horse trailers same thing TOO LONG probably overweight too hell a horse weighs about 1000 pounds so with 2-3 horses a trailer a motorhome ya got lotsa weight there---comp
