Disambiguates whether the house is in the street.

We live in a gutless society where nobody will say anything unless it's...within the terms of service. It's The Lounge, let's test.

It appears in Florida an overlength violation between 2 and 10' is a non-moving violation (no driver points) with a fine of $100 paid on the spot or impounded. The deal breaker however is the vehicle can be prevented from further movement until the infraction is corrected.

Another can of worms I can open, and would lead likely to even greater confusion, if I add any attached trailer, it seems the length requirements upscale to overall combination length of 65' Max.
Guess I might need to build a 3' long uni wheel trailer and put lights and a tag on it, that is liftable for backing?

The trailer idea could be thought of as a second trailer. Would need a doubles endorsement?

Way back in the day, I had some questionable stuff on my car that retracted ( curtains across the rear window of a hatchback). When pulled over for a violation, while the occifer was writing up the ticket, I folded them full open. No more violation right then. Sometimes I had to totally remove them from the curtain track, but whatever.

I experimented with the idea with an old tow bar.

Which in the case of a commercial tail would just require you folding up the panels, driving down the road, and then redeploying them.

You can also attach a fork truck to the back and be allowed 50 ft overall length.

50 ft is a wee bit less than 65 ft. Can you exceed 65 with a piggyback forklift and no oversize signs, permits, or warning vehicles? Don't think so but there may be f650 crew cab and 5th wheel combos that do

50 is less than 65 but JCC just wants to be allowed 45 feet.

No. A straight truck with a piggyback forklift is only allowed 50 ft overall length.

I also don't want to crossover from an RV class into Commercial Vehicle regs, which would be draconian in this context.
I thought I had mentioned prior, Fla RV statues clearly states elsewhere two axle RV's are controlled in length by Straight truck statues, 316.515.3a.

A three axle RV is allowed 45' length as per RV statues, and nothing is mentioned about any exemptions with energy conservation devices on 3 axle RV's.

Tag axle with 12" wheels under the back bumper? Wheelie bars?
