Class 8's do have overall length restrictions but a Brightdrop is not even close to a Class 8. The 600 is available with a 9990 (Class 2) or 11000 GVW. (Class 3). It is also only 290 inches long. (24.2 ft)
For reference this is a Holiday Rambler Vacationer Series RV. 36 feet long with an absolutely MASSIVE rear overhang. (It is built on a Class 4 Ford step-van chassis)
