Registration isn't my concern. Never weighed it the first time for registration, or had it inspected...I just told them 8K pounds, and they gave me tags. Heck, the truck wasn't even driveable when I bought it. My understanding is the weight fee isn't based on actual weight of the vehicle, but rather weight of the vehicle PLUS cargo.
My concern is getting stopped by a cop with portable scales, weigh stations, or getting stopped for NOT stopping at a weigh station, which it sounds like will apply to me now as the truck is registered as a commercial vehicle. Or what happens when I go out of state with it.
I guess I should probably be asking this kind of stuff on a forum geared towards the toter-home guys or the ones using MDT tow rigs, as it's probably more applicable to those guys than the general A/B/C class RVers.
