A person can commute by train and bicycle to his job all his life, and never own a car. He can rent a car twice a year to drive to the next city, driving 200 miles total a year. He can retire from said job, go buy a 4500 dooley wheel and a 40 foot tridrive big fiver that weighs 28,000lbs and drive away to electric brakes rv travel dreams and as long as the door sticker is not exceeded by even 500lbs we are all safe on the road.
No proof of driving competence required.
The RV industry has a good lobby. If they made people take tests and pay fees like they do on the commercial side they would not sell the larger RV's.
Yep up north you all have your own set of rules ;) You get to drive 13 hours vs my 11 hours a day.
I've seen the de-rated GVWR before but maybe it's just me. If you buy a truck with a de-rated GVWR and then want to pull the designed GVWR, don't you want your cake and eat it too? :h
Have a good day :)
