Officer's Answer to Question 1. No. Answer question 2. No. Answer question 3. I have no way of knowing. The manufactures tow rating are not a legal weight, since manufacturers do not write law. All I do know, Is that it is not over the actual DOT axle weight laws.

As mentioned. Towing a RV with a over loaded TV is NOT smart. But is not illegal either. Question for your lawyer. Was the TT weighed at the accident scene?? No? Case dismissed

wouldn't the answers depend on what state this occurs in? the object is to put some doubt into the investigating officers mind. I think to CYA they would err on the side of issuing a ticket. My neighbor is an ex police chief and I asked what the requirement was for coming to a complete stop. I had heard that if your car settles back on the rear axle, it is. I was told that was left to the discretion of the officer, charge it and let them fight it out in court.

I don't think the manufacturers can write law in any state. Not sure there are states that require you to get a special license to tow, I know they do to drive a 26001lb MH. As for it being too wide. Are there any RVs that are too wide???
How many speed cops want to waste their time hanging out in a court room to testify on a ticket they know is not going to make it? Cause they got to show up.
