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.

If your concerned about your tow vehicles weights I would ask your state what your max weight requirements will be.

All vehicles on the road come under some kind of weight limits

I see mostly CA folks over in the toy hauler forum talk about getting stopped on occasion on I believe the run out to Glamis or one of the more popular spots for ORV fun in CA.

The requirements to double tow in California:
Commercial Class A with Doubles Endorsement

I have been doing it for 15 years, have been stopped and checked 2 times for proper licenses, weight, length, lights and everything else

They are stopping those people going to the popular off road area like Glamis to see if they have the proper lic. They could care less how much you weigh as long as you have the lic to tow it. Towing double requires commercial class A with double endorsement. Towing 5er that weighs more than 10,000 but less than 15,000 requires an indorsement aka restriction 41. Towing a TT more than 10,000 requires a non commercial class A and towing a 5er weighing more than 15,000 but less than 26,000 requires a non commercial class A
