Who has ever been weighed when RV towing?
There is lots of posts to do with weights and ratings etc. etc. Has anyone ever been stopped and weighed by enforcement authorities while towing an rv?

I've been through my states moving road side safety sticker/insurance check points a few times some years ago towing doubles with my 5er and a 18' bass boat. The stop was set up by the county and state boys on small state hiways between two large rock crushers. They give dump truckers fits with weight checks. DOT guys were there with portables and new recruits.
Guess it was slow so they asked me if they could check my drivers. I was well under the trucks RAWR/tire load rating. They also measured my combo for length/checked my break away cable/lights/stickers on the trucks license plates/etc. My state has no weights registration requirements for private use trucks.
The dot guy laughed and said he had never checked a RV combination before that had a dark blue/white truck with a white on green/brown 5th wheel trailer and a two tone blue and grey metal flake boat with a black max on it.
Oh yeah, ok on safety sticker and insurance.
