Plus being non-commercial, if it's legal where you came from, it's "legal" there. Either through legal reciprocity, or "tourist" reciprocity.
not nessasarly, there are several things you can do in other provences or even ifn the US where if you are doing it here you will be ordered to disconect and get towed. a good example is tandom towing, its fine in Alberta but if you drive in to BC you will be required to unhook the last one and make two trips to get one of them back to alberta. weights are the same if you are overloaded your overloaded, just th chances of a rv getting stopped to be weighed is slim.
We're only talking about weight here. "Double" or "triple" towing (that'll start a whole other argument) is one thing that doesn't reciporicate. There are always minor exceptions.
I also believe that I stated that you were most likely to get nailed at a weigh station, AND that the highway patrol officers could not care less unless there was an obvious unsafe vehicle condition.
If your truck is 5000lbs overweight and you've got chunks of well casing jammed in between your axle and frame to make it set level and it "looks okay" highway patrol officers won't even give it a second thought.
