Weigh Stations?
I am planning to purchase my first motor home, Probably a 40' Safari Ivory DP. This may seem ridiculous but I am a newbie. Do I have to stop at weigh stations? Go ahead, you can laugh now!??

Here's a question I have regarding personal vs. commercial use of a MH :
If someone rents one from one of those RV rental places that have their advertisement plastered all over it, is that considered personal or commercial?
If you rent it for camping and stuff, then it is personal. If you rent it to do some kind of business like transport band group or something, then it is commercial. It boils down to how you are using it not what is on the side of the camper.
This applies to uhual truck as well. If you rent uhual to move your furniture to a new house, then it is personal. If someone hired you (pay you) to move their furniture and you rented the truck, then it is commercial purpose. You still have to stop by the weight scale if you are using the truck for personal purpose because they have no way of knowing if you are using it for personal or commercial business as you pass the scale.
Regarding the uhaul, not sure about the US, but up here that's incorrect. I had family that was moving from Ottawa to Moncton, NB, albeit about 15 years ago, and they got stopped along the way in Quebec because they went by a weigh station and they came after them.
