There was a recent thread on the “Canada” section about the Ontario government backing off on the requirement that “commercial” vehicles used only for personal use now being exempt from the required annual safety inspection.
I pointed out how I felt it was extremely unfair, two identical trucks being treated differently based purely on who owned it.
One of the items that came up was that RV’s, boat trailers, etc., were also exempt, but even a little 4’ x 8’ box trailer was not if towed by a “commercial” truck.
While I have NO doubt you, and the rest of us too, maintain your RV properly, this is a PERFECT example of what I was talking about.
Forcing people to pull the wheels and check everything over once a year just keeps us all honest. No different than forcing food producers and restaurants to post the calories in the food they offer.
