No, it was more a tongue-in-cheek statement as my last camper was overweight by more than 10 times this amount and I didn't even own motorcycles then. I am happy to be 150 lbs over GVW but I was hoping to join the 1% crowd of TC's that are actually under GVW. Guess I still have to keep checking the rear view for the weight police
Great pics. My kids were that small in the '60s/early '70s. We did lots of camping/fishing then but I sure wish we had a 'good' camera back then for some pics. Take lots of pics of the kids as it not long before their grown up and out on their own.
I know your joking about the weight cops.
FYI.
The company I sub through has a Idaho run. The company posts internal letters with state weight regs for company and contract drivers they operate in.
This is a partial from Idaho;
TITLE 49
MOTOR VEHICLES
CHAPTER 10
WEIGHT, SPEED AND TIRE REGULATIONS
(snip)
49-1001. Allowable gross loads.
(3) In determining the gross weight of a vehicle or the gross weight of any two (2) or more consecutive axles under subsection (1) or (2) or (9) of this section, the total gross weight of the vehicle or combination of vehicles or the gross weight of any two (2) or more consecutive axles shall be the sum of the axle weights.
For the purposes of this chapter the gross weight of a vehicle or the gross weight of any two (2) or more consecutive axles may be determined by accumulatively adding the separate weights of individual axles and tandem axles or groups of axles to determine gross weight.
(snipped for length)
Your well under what the real weight cops look for.
