There is an overpass near our place in BC. Underneath it is a traffic choke point where a lot of the traffic passes through. The RCMP coordinate with the highways guys and do safety checks on RV'S,. They watch for safety chains, trailers with no batteries, triple tows, and campers. With campers they take a look. If it looks questionable they put it on portable scales.

(Triple tow).
