You can't post a pic like that and not expect questions.
I think, from the appearanced, that rig would not be classified as an "RV". And all jurisdictions in the US must allow 75' for non "RV" vehicles on the Interstate system. Otherwise the semi's pulling 53' trailers would be running into issues crossing state lines!!

And just FYI.......I was "only" 80' long here and no one batted an eye!! Pulled it about 1500 miles and crossed 6 state lines!!

Yeah you're right that flat wouldn't be considered RV so it wouldn't have that 65' limit.
I'm right at 65' with my RV.

Went to the Springfield, MA Camping show at the Eastern Exposition Center and it was packed. A lot of trailers and a lot of places to camp there. One thing that I did notice was that 99% have accommodations for 5th wheels both height and pull thru's for length. I kept hearing from just about every booth about how they are upgrading. Giving me more to think about in the coming years.

We upgraded from a 25' (30'8") OAL TT to this 30'8" OAL Rockwood 2650WS recently. While not a 42'+ rig, it seems a lot larger than our TT with opposing slides in the living quarters!
