Senator Curtis King introduced language clarifying how fifth‑wheel travel trailers should be measured for road‑use length limits and said the bill aligns Washington with other states that measure from the center of the kingpin to the rear extremity; he described a 46‑foot limit tied to that measurement.
Michael Oakes, director of state affairs for the RV Industry Association, testified in strong support and said the change would clarify measurement practice for manufacturers and dealers, noting the House companion bill (HB 2467) previously received unanimous passage in that chamber. He urged the committee to advance the bill.
Committee members expressed general support; no amendments or votes were taken during the hearing.
