Anyone know if BC’s “door sticker” regs have been tested in court vs the Act?

My Cirrus 820 has a very specific list of “lies” on the data sheet.
The liers aren’t very smart because it weighs what the sheet says when you scale it, loaded per the data sheet.

For the door sticker police: do you think every Kenworth you see hauling a big oversize load on a 12 axle+ trailer with pilot cars and etc under a $$$$$$$$ permit has a door sticker rating of 487,000 lbs?

How do you like your Cirrus 820? Do you carry it on a SRW truck?
The big stumbling block for me is the weight, black water tank (want a casette, and seating configuration (prefer the layout of 720). The big attraction is the Alde, dual prop tanks, aesthetic, windows.

I like it a lot. I had it on a SRW 8’ bed Dodge diesel 3500 pickup. I am currently setting up a F350 SRW 4x4 gasohol cab and chassis with aluminum flatbed. It is a bit narrower than a white box design, easier to see past. I plan to build storage boxes on the deck under the camper wings for small generator as well as across the deck under the overhead will be straight through large storage box. The interior is a welcome change from typical RV designs. There are some very thoughtful elements in the design. Whoever designed the A/C unit never listened to it :). It’s loud. But a Honda 2000i will run it. The Alde system is great except if you like 200 liter showers. I don’t. It is very quiet. It has Auto night temp setback. I’ve slept in it at -15c. I tested the heating this winter interior was -26C on a -26C day. In 2 hours it was +18C. The radiant heating warms all the materials inside so you don’t need long sleeves to touch the table. It has removable belly panels to access tanks and valves if service is needed. The Zamp solar equipment works well. I clean the acrylic windows with Plexus aircraft window cleaner same as my motorcycle screen and helmet visors. Keep them out of the bush and cactus they can scratch. They do not radiate cold. Seating could be improved by sloping the cushion foam if you do not use the dinette for a child bed. The frame and wall structure has no wood to rot or delaminate. The roof is strong and solid. The rear step and bumper is handy as can be and is up off the ground for good departure angle clearance. Mine has the tried and proven SeeLevel monitor system (made in Edmonton) but I think newest models have some kind of screen driven system not from an oilfield instrumentation company (SeeLevel).
Aerodynamics are good.
Main “drawback” so far is every where you go people want to approach you about “what kind of camper is that?”
