Over weight? Does it bother you?
Describe overweight on a rv forum and we have numbers and opinions all over the place. Examples;....
1. truck mfg glove box tc weight
2. truck mfg yellow tire placard payload sticker weight
3. trucks gvwr minus empty gross weight
4. a payload number on the vehicle mfg brochure
5. over a fawr or rawr
6. over tire or a wheel rating.
7. tow ratings
8. a states registered gross weight.....if required as not all states have that requirement
Myself having hauled heavy GN/5th wheel trailers in a eight state area living with dot regs.... I will not exceed a steer...drive ....or trailer axle ratings. RVers keep bring up the liability card when a gvwr is exceeded.
Over on the commercial side its not a legal or civil court issue. Same trucks on both sides.
A fawr or rawr can be the lessor of a tire...wheel...brakes...spring pack...axle assys capacities.
When I had TCs I used the same criteria.
