I've never seen a "DOT" sticker on a TT frame or the actually TT / TH itself.
You're probably right, I used the wrong terminology.
Just trying to convey info I've heard from one of the old WW factory managers. You are correct though, the 'sticker' is not on the frame, its on the trailers front corner. Not sure where the frame rating is/was. Or if there was a frame sticker at all, or just a certification paper that went with the frames. Or if just a verbal shout was given by the frame delivery dude "hey this frame is good for 20,000lb".., idk... lol
Was told WW could buy them either way, rated or not rated. Not sure how LCI rated their frames or where they put the ratings. The ones that were not rated got rated by WW. Not sure how they accomplished that and if they put anything on the frames, or just used a total combined rating with the TH sticker..?
Would assume the total TH weight ratings have to be somewhat related to the 'chosen' frames capacity being used, yes..?
Have heard it called the fat sticker, the weight sticker, Data sticker, Data plate, RV weight labels, Dot weight sticker, etc,,, not sure what the correct label is...?
