They can pull the 5th wheel but not the utility trailer without a safety inspection of both truck and trailer.
Several people have been told by police or MTO that when towing an RV trailer with a pickup, the pickup does not need an inspection sticker. From reading Reg 611 "Safety Inspections" I'm not convinced this is the law. There is a clear exemption for the trailer not needing the inspection but I don't see anything that would exempt the truck when towing such a trailer if the combined gross weight is over 4500kg. Maybe this is one of those conventions they've adopted? Seems funny though if they're cracking down on empty duallies they wouldn't start to care about them when actually towing an RV is that's in fact the law. It all makes my head hurt.
