If the sign says all vehicles over X tons and you fit the rule. Stop.
Bad advice. No, he doesn't have to stop.

Wait until the weigh station is closed and no one is around and weigh your outfit...for free. They DOT almost never turn the scales off.
I hear in BC (Canada) they do weigh RV's but thats Canada.

Just to clarify, a commercial motor vehicle includes rental trucks. So, even if you are not driving one commercially, you have to go through weigh stations if over 10K lbs. unless signage depicts otherwise. I suspect rented M/H's are not included but no idea why since they fit the definition.. Kind of a grey area but have never heard of any state requiring it.
Not necessarily. If they are used for transporting personal property and not for interstate commerce, they don't usually have to stop.
Like I said, it depends on the signage. All the truck stops in California have signs requiring rental trucks to go through the weigh station. North Carolina is similar as I recall.
