In the regulations act post above from JIMNLIN,
Am I reading it correctly? Does it say that the GVW of the vehicle in the axle ratings added together? If this is the case I have no issues.
It would be a max GVWR for that vehicle as I understand BC registration requirements for a truck to have a registered GVWR.
This snipped paste and copy from a former RV.net member from BC. He mentions gross weight and insurance.

"well another phone call to a dot worker that I personally know,
here it is, go by the gross axle weight rating front and rear, tire ratings, and then make sure you are not over your licensed gross rating, ex. mine is 4600kg, he said after you get the camper and if you are under on the axle ratings and tire ratings but over the licensed gross rating, up your insurance to be over your total gross, this is the cash grab part of it, you are paying more for fixing the roads etc. the more weight you are. so there you have it from the bc dot."
