There will be a day in my lifetime when RVs have to go through weigh stations and be inspected. The present lack of enforcement has resulted in an entire industry of unsafe and overloaded vehicles. Just look at motorhomes or larger 5th wheels if you need examples; the tires and axles barely have sufficient capacity to carry the empty campers, much less any cargo. The day will come when there is a high profile accident and that will be the end of this under enforcement. There are certainly commercial vehicle operators that have a much larger margin of safety than RVers, yet they have to go through the formalities.
I hope not, that will screw up my set-up, I am over weight but safe over weight..
:D
Maybe it should all start with the manufacturers giving actual weights instead of the made up figures they use now. I'm sure there are people out there that thought they had enough truck based on the brochures weights and sales people saying all will be good. Not everyone can replace their truck when they find out the weights weren't accurate.
