Enough truck for 5th wheel?
We have a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 quad cab, with a V8, 5.7 liter engine. It is a four wheel drive, and a long bed. We have done quite a few mods to it because we previously owned a Travel Lite truck cam...

Ok, so my post is probably wrong, but if you're over the posted weight and you cause an accident, aren't you still liable (or negligent)? Isn't that worse than a ticket for weight violations? Doesn't that also risk insurance non-payment?
I haven't read the threads where this was covered. (Did I mention that I'm not a lawyer?)
If you cause an accident, you're liable, period. Doesn't matter whether you're overweight or not. Now, one could argue that being overweight makes it more likely for you to have an accident. But that's why we all have insurance (at least we hope) with sufficient coverage to protect our assets (or lack thereof). If your insurance exclusions specifically mention running overweight and you have an accident you could be in trouble. Chances are they don't.
