Hmmm. Again, I'm not sure how to interpret. The law recognizes "appurtenances", and permits them to extend beyond the basic 102 inches. Does that mean that if the width, including appurtenances, does not exceed 102 inches, then the appurtenances can't be counted?

Section 35103 Maximum Width Appurtenance

35103. (a) A vehicle used for recreational purposes may exceed the maximum width established under Section 35100 if the excess width is attributable to an appurtenance, excluding a safety device, that does not exceed six inches beyond either sidewall of the vehicle.

(b) For the purposes of subdivision (a), an appurtenance is an integral part of a vehicle and includes, but is not limited to, awnings, grab handles, lighting equipment, cameras, and vents. An appurtenance may not be used as a load carrying device.
