Can someone explain this?
Well I guess that everyone checked out of the thread where I posted this because no one seemed to answer it and the thread died shortly there after(unless no one had an answer). So here is to hoping ...

Meh, there's a few peeps on here that would need a quick trip to the ER for an AED if they saw what was hooked to my 1500 Silvy in the driveway for a trip over Chinook and Cayuse Pass in the morning!
It's ok though. Truck may look like a 1/2 ton but it identifies as a 2500! It's ok to do that here in liberal WA!
Oh come on, post a picture so the RV NET Weight Police can weight in.
My sons trucks, one a Toyota Tacoma ext cab, other a Chev 1500 are both licensed at 8000 lbs. Same as my C2500. All three can go down the road at 8000 lbs and be legal. Reality is, those two can go down the road heavier than I can, as they have wider tires, so they can displace more weight from a point load to the road stand point. WHICH is what the weight police enforce! point loads to the road bed, so as to not destroy the roads we the people own, pay taxes on etc. THAT is the engineer based requirement we ALL have to obide by!
Chris, I know you know that, I believe Grit Dog knows that, and a few others.......there is a few that do not understand it, nor will probably EVER get their head wrapped around how the weight laws really work!
