California Combined Length Limit - 65’

[Jon Wehrenberg]

About two years ago we were in Camp Prevost in Jacksonville and a fellow towing a trailer behind his 45' coach revealed he just paid one of the Dakotas a princely sum because he was overlength. Despite the size of the fine, he was overjoyed that they only charged the fine, and allowed him to drive out of the state.

Yes Jon, the price we are willing to pay for having are toys.

Jon, Kevin,

Since 2 out of 3 vehicles we have set up to tow exceed California length limit when attached to the coach, we usually drive detached from Quartzsite west. This eliminates the stress of flying under the radar, gives one of us a chance to follow the coach to see how it is rolling along from the outside, and we can both go 70 with the other cars! Doing 70 mph from Blythe to Indio allows us to get ot ORA quicker, YEA!!!

We had the lock on a tow bar fail years back when we were about 2 or three hours from home. The arm would not lock so it would contract and extend. As a result I unhitched and my wife drove the car, following me.

That ain't going to happen again. She didn't want to drive, I had nobody to wait on me hand and foot, it was horrible.

That is why we try to be legal length.
