How wide are breakaways? when did the regencies become wide and how wide are they? Mama doesn't like them too wide.

Thanks
Wayne hoping to be rid of Trek soon,Would love the 98 in ocala if it was less than 100 inches

Breakaways were not normally offered in widebody but we have one tag recorded that may be one. Normally coaches are 96 inches wide. The wide body adds 6 inches and was a $5,000.00 option. Don't know when they made the first one.

The Monarch in Ocala has been sold to another Barth Forum member. But it's 102", anyway.

i've been meaning to ask this question for awhile now but kept forgetting about it. i seen on a rv program that the widebody motorhomes were illegal to be driven on the roads in every state in the union. they also said in the same statement that no
one has every been fined/impounded for this,but all it takes is one officer in a bad mood to ruin one's vacation/bank account. any thoughts or experiences on this? was this guy on tv telling a myth or fact?...

Thank you for the article nick. it was some interesting reading. its hard to believe so many restrictions on a vehicle that is meant to bring
the family together. i think the rv dealers have a
duty to notify the potential buyer of these issues
with widebodies on various restrictions with driving on the open roads of the U.S.A. thanks again nick..
