Over 40 ft - djlcanuck - 09-06-2006 15:44 I see that some of you "rich" people have Birds over 40 ft in length. I have seen lots of talk around the net about maximun length being 40 ft in most states and provinces. Has anyone had any problems with local laws etc, or is there an exception for RVs? Thanks Doug Long Edmonton Wanabee Over 40 ft - Pete Masterson - 09-07-2006 04:03 "Rich??" (ha ha ha ha ha ha....) Perhaps some might think I was rich --- before I paid for it..... In many states, an RV over 40' requires an upgraded license. In California it's called a "non-commercial class B" license. (Same in Nevada.) There is a road test that requires safely executing certain turning and backing movements including parallel parking in a space 10' longer than the coach. Only a limited number of DMV offices can give the class B license test. 40 feet and under, the standard "class C" license will do, although there are some weight limitations as well as length limitations involved. Of course, anyone with a higher class license (e.g. a trucker's class A) is allowed to drive anything that requires a lesser license. Pete Masterson aeonix1@...
