Regs for commercial trucks and trailers are FAR more restrictive than for
automobiles.


It's a federally mandated highway law, which overrides any and all state

DOT only has jurisdiction over interstate commerce. DOT regs don't apply to
personal and/or intrastate use of automobiles beyond what may be duplicated
in state law. If guys towing those twin axle monstrosities full of dirt
bikes out to the desert with their giant pickup trucks don't have to apply
red and white stripes in compliance with to DOT regs, why would said regs
apply to a Vanagon?
