That's correct. You posted it correctly. Not overweight. Over Licensed Gross Weight. Your "Licensed" weight.
They can use whatever fine schedule that state decides to use.
It's what I said initially. A person has to learn the difference. Licensed weight is what you pay in licensing fee to haul whatever weight you want to haul.
I taught truck weight law for a lot of years. I even attempted to teach it to truckers.
And you are right, a RV is not likely to be over axle weight, or max gross weight. (I have heard that MHs are allowed more weight/axle without permit than CMVs. Not sure, because it does not apply to me, don't need to know) OTOH, I know when it comes to CMVs, you can be legal here, cross a line on the map, and not. Are RVs the same? If, for example, I think the blue lenses look cool for markers on my TV, is that likely to be a issue if I get in a state where LEOs use blue lights on front to get you out of their way? By the same idea, LEO sees big 5th wheel, no plate on front of pickup. I would think, if he works a state that requires front plates he has reason to stop. If he looks at plate on the back, sees that licensed weight is low, he will not or should not weigh/write?
IMHO, no matter what you call it, if I lay money down on the county counter of the ***** table, if somebody else picks it up, I lost.
Edit; looks like the normal name for a game played with galloping dominos is not allowed
