We were driving our 38 ft Class A MH West on I-20. As we entered MS a sign said \"All Vehicles Over 5 Tons Must Enter\". I didn't. Surely they meant DOT vehicles and trucks, right? Is a RV ever required at a Weigh Station? Not that i am aware of. Thanks.....

You can’t just make a blanket statement like that, it’s wrong. Period.
There are numerous states require all RVs over 10,000 pounds to stop. Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island, Washington (State), and Wisconsin require private RVs, specialty vehicles, passenger vehicles, and trailers over 10,000 lbs to stop.
I personally saw a DP MH get run down by a LEO that came out of an open scale when it tried to drive past it in Michigan.

Since you didn't get pulled over personally you actually have no idea why the particular RV you saw was being pulled over. Maybe he was speeding, maybe he was involved in an incident previously and was radioed in, maybe he had a baggage door open, maybe the Unicorn on his roof was shooting rainbow lasers. The point is you don't know and making the assumption.
.
How happy do you think the trucking industry and supply chain commerce in general would be if all the sudden all RV's started to clog up weigh stations?
In that case the reason was reasonably obvious, it was a large DP with large trailer travelling in a convoy of a dozen C’s and small A’s and TT’s, all Canadian vehicles enroute to the fly-in at Osh Kosh WI. We were told later it was a ‘routine stop’ and the driver was admonished to obey the signs in the future.
As for clogging weigh stations, I’m pretty sure most commercial drivers would welcome the sight of a scale clogged with RV’s and trucks having to by-pass the scale because of it.

Bet if it happened like that it took a lot longer for the driver to prove to the confused LEO there was no reason to cross the scale. Might even involve a court date if cop was behind on citations.
