Ok, so I guess I am the one still confused.
If truck class is not based on its GVWR plus the GVWR of the trailer (GCWR), then what exactly am I changing when I go in to tag agency to change the truck’s weight class?
Truck is currently titled as a Class 5. 5th wheel is 16,850 GVWR.
You're overthinking it and buying into RVnet geezer worrywartitis. Im shocked that someone has not told you if you title it at the lower class you're putting your and their families at risk lol.
Have the dealer title it as a 4a or b and go camping. If it was illegal to do so do you honestly think the dealer would offer to title it as 4a or b? Save the $110 and spend it on beer. Your not going to get pulled over, weighed, and cited pulling a 5th wheel RV for the weight class of the truck.
Now get a big gooseneck drop trailer, load it with drill pipe, and put a magnetic sign on the truck saying "Joes Hotshot Service", then you can worry about possible citations for weight class.
I’m not so worried about being pulled over as I am about the unforeseen happening (accident). Without proper classification I can’t get my non-com Class A license. Without that license, I’m quite exposed should an accident happen. Since this truck is in my company name, my company is quite exposed, too.
