This is another reason why the california know-it-alls should mind their own business......

First i want to say that this should be enough proof that it's only required for new 53' trailers. The spec'ing of side fairings on pup trailers, if in fact not required by californication rules, would be something i'd like to bring up to fleet managers for the very reason illustrated by the photo in post #1.

i would like to see more documentation on this, not because i don't trust your judgement----the Guidance Packet is good proof already; i'm just being judicial about it. Also, i wonder if there might have been some recent rules changes?; The packet was published in 2012.

 

You'll notice that the "apron"/part the connects the sidewalk to the street is angled down, so the more i moved forward, the less and less the landing scraped.

i should have noted in the first post that to the left is the street and to the right is the dock which is angled downwards too.
