Next message: Richard Goodwin: "RE: lv-ab: ~How long to go from CA to FL?"
I think the main problem here will be the 26' beam.
The width limit on all US highways is 8', or 8.5' in
Maine. Even with escorts, which are expensive, you
don't get as much as 26', I don't think, either
horizontally or vertically.
