[A/S] Re: A/S Trailer Widths

  Hi, A few years ago I called the Wisc State Patrol about widths. I 
had a customer request for a wide trailer. I was told that any road 
that uses federal hwy $ for it's construction or maintenance has to 
allow 102" units irregardless of the law in their state. I asked what 
happens when I need to leave the federal $ road. He said that here in 
Wisc. Nothing. He jokingly added that if they feel that someone needs 
a ticket, they can easily find another reason. He also stated that as 
far as he knew it was pretty much the same policy in other states. 
Already then many 102" trailers were on the road. I'm sure it can 
vary from place to place so it don't hurt to ask. Another thing I 
have found anywhere I have traveled towing an RV is that the scales 
don't seem to care about RV weights and lic. When in Wy. a few years 
back I was chewed on royally for having pulled up on the scale evan 
thou the sign on the hwy. required that I do. Good luck. Arnie
