maxum1989 you do not need to worry about being pulled over and asked to unload. The safety inspections that are set up check commercial vehicles and will pull over anyone who looks unsafe.
I have never been pulled aside with either of my units.
The concern in BC is with ICBC.
Not true. There are safety inspections that pull over every vehicle on Highway 97, checking paperwork, plates, insurance, safety, etc. Have been through these checks when we lived on the Island and vacationed in Yukon. Usually at that weigh scale just south of Prince George, the new one in the middle of the highway so they can stop every vehicle. If you aren't in compliance, you can't leave with your RV.
I also know someone who had to get a special permit for their fifth wheel to complete their journey home to the Okanagan because it caused their truck to be over its GVWR. Those safety checks are wicked.
Yukon also has checks that stop every vehicle, usually at the junction of the Alaska & Cassiar Highways.
