Elsewhere statues state a 2 axle RV's length is controlled by Statue 316.515.3a.
Elsewhere, "department" is defined as FLHSMV, Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
So many weeks ago I began my quest to find out what exactly defined/determined what was an "energy conservation device approved by the department".
Energy conservation devices are aerodynamic aids. They work on straight trucks as well as trailers.
