(a) Noncommercial moves of overwidth recreational vehicles are governed by the following:

  • (i) If the vehicle (not including appurtenances) does not exceed 8 feet 6 inches wide, no permit is required.
  • (ii) If the vehicle (not including appurtenances) exceeds 8 feet 6 inches wide, an oversize permit shall be required. This may be in the form of a single trip Class B or Class D permit.

(b) Commercial moves of overwidth recreational vehicles are provided for in W.S. 31-18-804(d), when the proper fee is collected and a copy of the permit is carried in the vehicle. This may be in the form of a single trip Class B, Class D, or an Oversize Recreational Vehicle permit. This permit may be obtained for a period not exceeding one year, authorizing the movement of one or more motor homes, house trailers, or truck campers that exceed statutory width. The oversize fee for such a permit shall be $250.

(c) Motor vehicles constructed or loaded so as to obstruct the driver's view to the rear from the driver's position shall be equipped with outside mirrors on both sides, which will be located to reflect to the driver a view of the roadway to the rear of the vehicle.

(d) Following are safety regulations governing overwidth recreational vehicles:

  • (i) No additional safety requirements as explained in Section 8 are imposed upon the movements of recreational vehicles as long as the vehicle (not including appurtenances) does not exceed 8 feet 6 inches wide.
  • (ii) Moves of recreational vehicles (not including appurtenances) exceeding 8 feet 6 inches wide shall comply with the provisions of Section 8, Safety Measures and Moves.
    • (A) Instead of oversize signs and flags as required in Section 8, Safety Measures and Moves, moves of recreational vehicles may display a lighted, revolving amber light, amber strobe light, or 2 two-way flashing amber lights at least 4 inches in diameter on the vehicle. LED assemblies meeting the visibility requirements will be allowed. These lights shall be clean and clearly visible at least 1,000 feet from the front and rear of the vehicle.

(e) Recreational vehicles exceeding any other legal limit imposed by W.S. 31-18- 802 other than width are required to comply with the specific statutory requirement.
