The DOT law is 75 feet on interstates.
It is the State Laws that change that on the other roads.
One standard across the US would make it easier for everyone.
My motorhome and trailer is over length in several States but most seem not to pick on motorhomes. The Totorhomes which look more like a truck is usually the ones who get picked on.
If you look at most 18 wheelers total length when you are at a truck stop nearly all with a sleeper cab are a total length of 70 to 75 ft or more. I have not seen them being hassled for length issues.
One standard across all the States would be a big step forward for those travelling across the country but that happening is a pretty long stretch.
