What I said in my original statement was CAPABLE (clearly my truck is capable since I do it without any issues) and LEGAL are two different words. If I was involved in a serious incident, my overloading MAY be held against me legally. Not likely, but possible.
This and other forums are full of this rhetoric. Your over by a little and get into an accident that was your fault, by what? Your actions, a blown tire, negligence, broken spring on the trailer? Does not matter, even if they do put it all back together and somehow manage to determine you're over weight by 300lbs insurance will cover it and you will not find yourself charged with anything unless your driving actions caused it, even still insurance will cover it.
It's insurance, in some places in they'll still cover you if you were drunk.
I've yet to hear one credible "story" of anyone being charged with overloading an RV and NEVER in Canada. Can Am in London regularly "overloads" vehicles(it's their specialty) and they have never been charged with anything. Urban legends, nothing more.
