BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1 A new section is added to chapter 46.44 RCW
to read as follows:
Motor homes, travel trailers, and campers may exceed the maximum

to the exterior of a vehicle for the purpose of transporting the item
from one location to another. "Appurtenance" does not include an item
that obstructs the driver's rearward vision.
