Looking at BC motor vehicle transport act regs on weighing of vehicles says quote; (snipped for length)
**(4) The gross weight of any vehicle or combination of vehicles shall be the sum of the individual gross axle weights of all the axles of the vehicle or combination of vehicles.**
We also know from other members from BC say that their trucks have to have a "GVWR" for registration which can be the truck mfg GVWR or the sum of the GAWRs as the trucks registered GVWR.
I have a '03 2500 Dodge/Cummins NV5600 tranny 3.73 gears QC short bed 6000 RAWR and pull a 11400 gross weight 5th wheel trailer. The truck has a 13250 lb tow rating.
I also pull a 16k GN triaxle (non rv) trailer that can be loaded so I don't exceed the trucks 6000 RAWR. Both trailers pull like a dream. The loaded triaxle (7k axles) actually panic stop quicker than the 5th wheel rv tandem axle (5200 lb axles) trailer. I'm under all the trucks GAWRs. My state has no weights for registration on a non commercial vehicle.
