Driving the motorhome through Colorado?

You will likely have more trouble with the weather than CDOT. Been going in and out for 10 years and no issues.

Been doing it for over 30 years without an issue.

The police have to have a reason to check your car, or motorhome. They can not stop you for no reason at all, and start "Searching" for a reason that they pulled you over for.

Now commercial trucks are another matter. They placed a camera over the entrance to the weight stations many years ago, specifically to catch drivers without a seatbelt on, and have a officer man the TV screen to watch for non-seatbelted drivers.

Many states also take a IR camera picture of the rigs pulling into the weight station. If the tires are all glowing a little bit red, it means that each brake is working. One super hot, or one that is cold, they will check for further inspection, because they have 'reasonable cause' to think that a brake has failed either rubbing while driving, or not applying and warming the brake drum.

You will not need to stop in a weight station, so the only time they might inspect your breaks is after a accident.

Have fun! Colorado is a great state to visit, especially the suspension bridge that is 1,000 feet over the river, near Canon City. And the Durango Silverton RR.

MH do not have to stop at weight stations or and nothing more than a regular car would have to do.
