what is needed is a book of laws issued by dot that covers RVs! something simple that a stupid person like me can comprehend !
I stopped to talk to a Dot inspecter yesterday (at a check point) just to go over some of the things pretaining to conversion rvs
He told me that their are all kinds of new laws comming for" HD RVers"
He also said that the weight limit of 26000gvw applies At this time along with the 6000# MAX trailer wt
He said that if he stopped me in my 30' motor coach with a 33500 gvw that he would want to see me licienced for at least class B with air brake indorsement and haz (propane ) and if I was towing a trailer that weighed mor thatn 6k I better have a class one indorsement at least for non-articulated !
I want a book that is simple and certified so I may have it in my hand at the time of a stop , this way the inspecters and I both can reference it ! Cause I will tell you right now, NEITHER OF US, ME OR THEM REALLY KNOW THE LAWS PERTAINING TO THIS TYPE OF THING t
