Are those who pull 5th wheels and basically any camper exempt from state scales?

They are great for a quick weight........pull thru them when closed and get your set up weights free.
But NO..you do not have to go thru weigh scales unless commercial.
Don't confuse weigh scales with inspection sites....those you do have to go thru, just follow ALL the traffic
With respect and to clarify: For Us RV's This is from Florida Statues: "Florida Statute makes it unlawful for the driver of any vehicle, other than those exempted by the statute, to pass any official agricultural inspection station without first stopping and submitting the vehicle for inspection.
Those vehicles not required to stop include: private passenger automobiles with no trailer in tow, travel trailers, camping vehicles, van conversions, and motor homes, or pickup trucks not carrying agricultural, horticultural, or livestock products and which have visible access to the entire cargo area, or city, county, state, or federal vehicles."
You don't have to stop UNLESS you are directed to either by signage or a Law Enforcement Officer. In that case you better stop because they will chase you down.
