This is why having a Trucker's Atlas is so important if you have a large fiver or large MH pulling a trailer. The atlas details "designated" truck routes where certain lengths, widths, and weights are legal.
It gets pretty confusing for RVers. Our rigs are "not for hire" and do not fall under Federal Commercial regulations. However, states enforce those regulations plus they have their own, sometimes similar, regulations for non-commercial vehicles. For example, total number of tows and how long the combination can be. Add to that each state is a little different and it presents more problems to traveling RVers.
