In CA with a 1T where do you display your weight sticker?
Seems to be required on these newer pickups with a GVW greater than 11,500. They want you to stick it to the door on either side but it is ugly. Also they want you to stop at scales.

I did find an interesting potential loophole. CVC section 471 defines anything we might think of as a pickup, if greater than 11,500 GVWR, as not a pickup but rather a commercial motor truck. Section 362 defines a "house car" and specifically excludes a camper temporarily attached. A camper on a pickup, or a commercial motor truck is not a house car or RV, unless permanently attached. However, if there is a special provision for a camper than has a third axle (remember the Born Free?). Such a camper, no matter how it is attached, makes the combination a house car, no matter what was before:
That makes you pretty much exempt from everything, at least while it is attached. I'm not sure that is practical, but if you could come up with a single wheel that supported 1 lb of the camper's weight......
A motor vehicle to which a
camper has been temporarily attached is not a house car except that,
for the purposes of Division 11 (commencing with Section 21000) and
Division 12 (commencing with Section 24000), a motor vehicle equipped
with a camper having an axle that is designed to support a portion
of the weight of the camper unit shall be considered a three-axle
house car regardless of the method of attachment or manner of
registration. A house car shall not be deemed to be a motortruck.
