Great explanation!
Got it.
The tail is foldable for parking. I didn't write it in this thread, but I mentioned it in my introduction. My city is ****ed. They've been giving me tickets lately for having a motorhome on the street between 2-6am. I've been here for 4 years and never had an issue. This is what led me here.
To fit it in my driveway so they can't keep popping me, my driveway is 16.9 ft to the sidewalk. Can't block the sidewalk or I'll get popped for that. I was gonna get a diesel box truck and modify that, but then there's another bull**** law, no commercial vehicles with a rating over 10k gvwr parked on the streets.
The small uhaul box trucks (f350) are rated at 11k. Pow, ticket!
So I've been hunting unicorns, looking for a vehicle that can fit my robots, and one that I can park on the street to keep it at around 19ft.
Can't find one. Need the standing room in a tall vehicle, need the 8ft width to store the bots width wise so I can have the living room when on the road for 6-8 weeks at a time.
I have 2 calls into the head of the department of parking and traffic, and have not received a call back yet. I need to find out if the vehicle classification changes on the registration, and it no longer looks like a motorhome, will I still get tickets? If not, then I'll build it longer (19ft total length, then I'll do the boat tail after that. I swear, this bull**** has kept me up at night, wondering if I'll owe the city $47 every night is a really great way to induce insomnia.
If he doesn't call me back, I'm going to go the the police chief and lodge a complaint, and have the chief help me understand the law and figure out a way to not break the law. ****. I hate authority. I feel like a ***** bowing down to their crap, but unless I pay for storage, I have to deal with them.
