Nova Scotia Plate Fees

Does anyone in Nova Scotia register their heavy 5th wheels as a commercial trailer based on its weight?

    I'm happy I live in the Republic of Alberta, paid a one time registration fee for my fifth wheel.


    This is exactly what I am questioning. Camper dry is 4500kgs, add another 1500kgs of payload it is over 5000. It seems most just register the dry weights but should you register the loaded weights.
  • When they weigh you---will they have you take everything out and dump all water for a "dry weight"?
