In WA that is registered weight not actual, so if your truck is registered for 12,000gvw you can only legally tow a trailer with a max registered gvw of 14,000.
Please explain that in more detail. For two years I towed a 16K 5th wheel with a 3500 RAM registered to 12K. The 12K trucks GVW license has nothing to do with a RV trailer that carries it's own registration. Now if that was a commercial combination the Truck would have to be license to or about the combined weight.
Exactly, towing an RV for private use no one is concerned with your weights. But if you delivered RVs for a living with your truck you would need to license it for the combined weight and you would need a class A CDL if you were over 26K GCWR.
