the way things are going in Ma I wont be sureprised when they require people to have their RV's inspected along with the truck. Once they start doing that do you think it is so far away that they start weighing them? I almost got failed this year because my truck didn't have wheel chocks.

I need 16K to be "legal" with my actual scale weight. I am under FAWR slightly over RAWR and under my GCWR.
The scale folks due.check tire and axle capacities. 500 lbs per inch width of tire, up to 20k per ax with enough tire width, and 34k if the axles are closer than around 10' iirc.

I've been pulled over at 150 percent of manufacture give, I have yet to get an overweight ticket as I was under paid for license weight.
