Fifth Wheel Class G Exemption
On July 1, 2011 the Ontario Government gave RV’ers a gift. They have allowed an exemption for those RV’ers who use a pick up truck and fifth wheel configuration but are over the trailer weight limit of 4,600 kg. For most this means they will still enjoy using their class G license as long as they don’t go over their 11, 000 kg gross combined. As soon as the gross combined is over 11, 000 kg you will have to upgrade to a Class A restricted at the very least.
Here are the buts to this new law:
You must have a pick up truck as defined by regulation.
Pick up must not weigh over 6,000 kg.
Pick up truck is fitted with the original box or replacement box that duplicates the one installed by the manufacturer.
Your gross combined can not be more then 11,000 kg.
You are towing a fifth wheel Recreational Vehicle.
You can not double tow.
