Ed, Nebraska, Iowa, and Minn. are strict on lengths also in Div. 5. I have friends who have received tickets in all those states for over 65 ft lengths.
Most states have the 65 ft limit for all rigs tagged RV. If it is a Commercial tag you can get by with the longer lengths.
It seems the troopers target the toter homes and let the motor homes slide. All those friends that were ticketed had toters.
It is starting to take the fun out of getting to the races for sure.

In florida the overlength permit is $20.00 for the whole year

just talked to Tony Zizzo-- told me that Schumacher just spent $20M per trailer to have them SHORTENED 3 feet so that he would not get into overlength trouble!!!! A racer going to the Winters got stopped by Ca. Hwy patrol cost him $30M to have the trailer flatbedded outa state cuz it was too long----yes they are looking at ALL motorhomes towing trailers for over length violations and Toterhomes for overweight and air brake endorsements and license violations--- So be warned they are coming after us

Had wondered about this for years, why Texas (among other states) had not actively enforced this rule .. its been in place for a long time.

To add to this conversation if you have your truck,rv,trailer etc registered in the following states Alaska,Colo,Idaho,Minn,Miss,Montana,Nevada,ND,SD,O K,Wash or Wyoming your states length laws exceed Texas 65'. Texas is a reciprocity state so that means you are covered under YOUR states laws. Ed

Good to know Rick. Thanks!!
Should have kept my 36' gasoline motor home. With my 24' trailer, I would have been OK. Looking more like time to quit all the time.
But, Ed tells me since mine is registered in OK, I'm OK in Texas. Guess Div 4 is stuck with me this year. I'll probably be gone after this one. Not getting any younger.
