I have a very good friend that is a retired Captain of the PA State Police. When I first got my RV I asked him this very same question. In PA since everything is for personal use I do not need to stop. If I had a company name, (I have a little side business for model trains) then that COULD make it commerical. When I asked about other states he advised that I research the states I travel through just to be safe. His last bit of advice was You are much better getting waved through a checkpoint then having them chase you down and stop you!

Varies by state as these are not federally operated weigh stations. In California they do not want 5-wheelers at the scales whereas in Utah every vehicle and trailer combination with a gross combined weight over 10,000 lbs. is supposed to get weighed according to the highway signs. I have not stopped so cannot say for sure what they are doing in Utah and I avoid the major highways as much as possible in any case.
