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?

Sidney,
I like your answer. probably a better answer than some.....
Jim,
Just for your info, and old time engineer like you designed the roads. THAT old time engineer like you, made the specs as to what the road can handle weight wise. THAT is what folks like wadcutter have to enforce. NOT the old time engineer that designs trucks and cars. FOlks like wadcutter have been enforcing road limits since the early 1800's in some jurisdictions of the US. Possibly as long back as when the Romans starting building roads. Did cars and trucks as we know it exist as far back as the early 1800's and romans? no, but they put limits on what your horse cart could put on the road per tire. If the cart fell apart. oh well. If you truck falls apart...oh well. If the road that the government, ie we the people own.......because you took a vehicle that was designed to be greater in strength than the road. you WILL HAVE issue with we the people!
You can drive a pickup with 2 25K axels per an old time engineer like you. If you run into wadcutter in your rig at 50K lbs, YOU WILL get a ticket for being 10K lbs overweight! Because the old time engineer that designed the road bed said you can only put 20K per axel on the road!
At the end of the day, there are two different old time engineers at work. One that designed the road, the other that designs the vehicle. The one that designed the road will ALWAYS win in a legal fight! Now a civil court fight, all bets are off!
