Kinda dought many RVs have much to worry about.
Those a repeated from the federal bridge weight laws. Most states have the same in their code somewhere.
Some states like Washington license tonnage for private trucks. So you can be ticketed for being over our licensed weight or maybe over our tire ratings.
