Has anyone been stopped by D.O.T.
Concerned about being weighed. I'm 240 lbs. over gross on truck. Rear tires and axle are just under. Front axle only gained 60 lbs. Fiver axles and tires are fine.

The big thing still is WHERE you, your trailer and your truck are registered. As long as you are legal there, it doesn't matter where you are or what the local laws are for that state. VA does not check RVs unless towed by a for hire vehicle. We are not required to get weighed, and will even be asked why we pulled into a weigh station if we did (did that once a long time ago with a class C). There's no commercial driver's license requirement either.
Last year we drove straight up to Montreal, through NB and back through Maine 7 New England without any issues. Year before we went all the way out to CA and back and never were even looked at by the many cops along the way (they probably noticed the tags). Year before, all the way to AZ and back, ditto. Before that, through MI to Canada & back, no problems anywhere. This year we're going to Glacier and WA/OR. I'm not concerned about our weight or any of this, just about nothing breaking or wearing out!
