Who has ever been weighed when RV towing?

Got pulled over on this site by the weight police once. Does that count?

Nope, (bet it wasn't me:)). I've heard a lot of sarcasm and been called a lot of ugly names, far worse than "weight police" over the years on this forum, something I've tried not to resort to. Even gotten PM's from people who couldn't call me some of the names they have on here and do it in a PM.....and all I've talked about is towing weights...no religion, no politics, don't cut on others campers or really flame on brand names to any extent, but whenever these weight post comes up...I have to admit, there are some in here that have went MUCH further than just calling someone "weight police"...sort of sad when we have to resort to name calling, but, such is life as we know it:)

Ditto being called lots of nasty names on PM's.

Quit this site after one too many caviler comments on technical based topic...either not caring (worst) to ignorant (not a bad reference, but many take it as if...just means not educated on 'that' topic) that their advice was dangerous to both the OP and others following

There is no policing on these types of forum, and the derogatory 'Weight Police' are attempts to discredit that advice.

Am back just for this topic due to two personal emails (gads how did they find that). As this topic is important

NC has a rich background in engineering and knows (biggie is an understanding) what an OEM's 'RATING' embodies. Both legally and in the real world...and that anything designed/engineered is NOT for the good days out there, but for the bad or worst day out there when Mr Murphy does his work

Know am not going to change any old salt's mind on this, but maybe one newbie out there and that has always been my goal...teach someone how that system works and for them to make up their 'own' minds based on solid information and metrics on HOW2 figure. How else would one know where they are in reference to their 'RATINGs' without actually weighing ?

I am willing to listen & discuss to possibly changing my mind...if the discussion makes sense to me and my knowledge base (most and best via hard knock schooling)

The best I can do is to re-post an old image showing how the 'RATINGS' and whole system works. Notice that the teeter totter diagram does NOT have an 'R', as it represents what it looks like just weighing everything, axle by axle. Then how those weights are then rated with an 'R'

Also, the wheels won't instantly fall off when over loaded...they just will sooner... Plus the performance will not be as high when under those 'RATINGS'

Happy Holidays to everyone !!!
