Correct Ron.
OP can probably run down the road based on what he says his registered wight is at 16-18000 too. At least here, that would be the case. Even 25000 for that matter. Not that any one with a typical 35 series dually should be at 25000gvw. Wieght won't be issue. Some law rule etc will get them off the road. It will be a painfully $$$$$ lesson.

Marty, I am not sure what you mean by your remark on "Some law rule etc will get them off the road. It will be a painfully $$$$$ lesson". I plan on running a Palomino HS-2902 Max truck camper (3261 lbs dry weight, probably 4200 lbs wet) and towing a 2-horse bumper pull trailer at the same time (loaded about 6500lbs). I was told in Virginia you have to register for max GCW you intend, so went with a large number (25000lbs).
Before I went with the current truck camper/bumper pull setup, I had some plans on buying a horse trailer with living quarters - these usually come in at 13-14,000 lbs - plus loaded weight of truck (9000lbs) - I would have come in at 22-23,000lbs max (hence I registered for 25,000).
Either way I am not over GVWR, not over GCWR, not over RAWR and not over my registered weight... - how would I learn a "painful $$$$$ lesson"? Thanks!
