Hi JaxDad,
You're quite correct about the annual inspections, here's the part I missed, from the MTO website:
http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/trucks/commercial-vehicle-safety-requirements.shtml
Here's the relevant text, I highlighted some parts:
"Annual and semi-annual inspections
An annual inspection is valid for 12 months.
Trucks, trailers and converter dollies, alone or in combination, with a total gross weight, registered gross weight or manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of more than 4,500 kg require an annual inspection.
Total gross weight: the weight transmitted to the highway by the truck and/or trailer - includes the driver, passenger, fuel, equipment, tools, cargo, etc. carried by the truck and/or trailer."
This means that almost everybody towing an RV isn't in compliance, if we assume that a pickup towing an RV is considered a commercial vehicle, (as these regulations only appear in that part of the website).
So your FIL had to get an inspection and a yellow sticker?
