Placards explained in this video.
My understanding is that every RV must have the two weight placards, they are required by a US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards agency. Can't say for Canada but I would think they are used there, also.
Thx for the vid link.
Yes, I was pretty certain too that the must put a the "yellow" sticker on and I'm pretty sure it's a legal requirement and I do believe it is the FMVSS as you say. I'm thinking of the sticker that is typically on the entry door somewhere and is specific to your TT. The one at the front right seems to be generic and/or based on the factory listed weights. The CCC they show often seems to be way off. It was on our last TT and the one before that.
It's my understanding that the factory weights in brochures or on websites is for stripped down base models before accounting for options or variations and that they are supposed to weigh each and every unit as it comes of the assembly line to take into account the weight of the options and changes.
I've never seen a credible explanation of what is included in factory dry weights. I've even read some say that things like the microwave are not included.
I know this has been discussed to some degree in the past but am primarily interested in the legal requirement. Not sure what the requirement would be in Canada but would think they would put the "standard" yellow sticker on anyway and I have seen it on lots of brands here.
