But speaking of wide, I took photos an extreme heavy duty rig that took up two lanes. The photos are on my RV page he http://groups.msn.com/CoachpotatosRV...07hugerig.msnw Dale www.fishwisher.com |

Local regs vary, but 8'6" is pretty much standard. Truckers atlas's and some others have State regs listed. There's been some contravercy up in NC about this and Gene Has been following it. As always, a quick google will bring everything you want to know to your screen. |

A friend of mine has a boat with an 8 1/2 foot beam and was thinking about trailering it down to Florida when he visits his son there later this year. |

We had no issues trailering our old runabout to Florida from Connecticut with an 8 1/2 ft beam. You do need to carefully check out everything in advance: towing stability at speed, brakes, lights, tire pressure, trailer jack, etc. We checked hub temperatures at every gas stop and carried two spare tires (not needed). |

How do you check hub temps? I put my hand on the hub. If it doesn't feel too hot, I figure it isn't. |

How do you check hub temps? I put my hand on the hub. If it doesn't feel too hot, I figure it isn't. That is how I checked it when trailering........but the furthest I trailered was probably 60 miles. Thanks for the additional advice Wayne. |

Better yet, how do you tell? Buy an electronic temp sensing device? :) |
