Wow, a *bunch* of incorrect info here!
It does NOT exempt you from needing an Annual Safety Inspection. That is required when your truck, trailer, or both combined, have a GVWR or actual weight exceeding 4,500kg or 9,900 pounds. A LOT of folks don’t understand this until it’s too late. For example, a typical 1/2 ton with a 7,200 GVWR pulling a single axle box trailer with a 3,500 pound GVWR means you’re at 10,700 combined GVWR and need an annual Safety for BOTH.
If the MTO/OPP pulled over ever 1/2 ton truck on a long weekend pulling a RV and weighed them they'd never ever ever have time to do commercial and the courts would be plugged.
Have mine registered for 4k kgs. That's more than I need when I'm sitting in it with a full tank of fuel.
If you're not pulling ANY kind of commercial, ONLY your RV, use you're truck only as a passenger vehicle and you're under 11K kg's GCVWR you do not need a yellow sticker.
