Pulling RV into weigh station.

YES

Generally speaking. Trucks means semis.

Nebraska wants vehicles over 8,000 lbs. I don't remember the exact wording


Some states are 10 or 12

 

If the sign says RV's are included, they are.
If the sign says ANY vehicle over a certain GVWR is included, it is.

Many states specify RV's and buses, so it should be clear.

 

I am a member of the Escapee's RV club, a large (50,000 plus members)organization who has a fair number of individuals that pull their RV's with a semi tractor. This topic comes up continuously on their forum.
The article cited above is riddled with errors. The confusion stems not from the vehicle itself, but how it is being used. If it is an RV and licensed as such, and it is being used for it's intended purpose, a pleasure vehicle, than almost no states want that vehicle to cross their scales.
But, if it is being used for a commercial purpose, it might be an RV, but it is now considered a commercial vehicle, and everything that it implies, CDL, medical card, IFTA, etc. And there are many instances where individuals are using it for commercial purposes (horse trailers in their way to a rodeo where prize money is awarded for example, or someone with a race car in the trailer where a sponsorship is involved) but they plaster "private coach" on the side and they think they are exempt. They are not and enforcement personnel are catching them more and more. It gets even trickier, does Grandma make any money off the quilts she sews while going down the road with her feet up on the dash? Some officers would say yes, commercial vehicle. Especially if she has decals on the side with the manufacturer of her favorite sewing machine on it.
But if you are on vacation, it is registered as an RV and you aren't being paid, don't stop.

 

some people I notice abuse the lengths or combinations how many toys they haul example I have seen a many as 4 other combinations in two behind an RV normally a boat, trailer, car when they are doing is outright dangerous its bad enough hauling doubles, triples but this goes even beyond that. mind you I have driven two 53' for my one uncle before that was a different beast altogether but to think the average joe is safe driving that many combinations just because he owns them all I see them pulled over

 

They should make them have doubles and triples endorsements as well.

 

My rv curb weight is at 29,000 lbs with empty tanks, loaded it comes to 34,000 lbs with the tanks full and what ever I have on the deck, be it a trailer or a pickup.

I do not stop at any weigh stations, those are commercial weight stations to me and have been pulled over a few times, ticketed a couple and fought it in court to have them thrown out because I am an rv not subject to other states licensing regulations.

 

Spend 30 seconds in a bypass lane, or spend a wasted day of your life in court for no reason.

Because some RVs are used for commercial purposes, I have zero issues with driving by a scale house so Barney can get a look at me.

 

Holy Crap! Toyhauler I suppose...and a biggun.

 

my dad yrs ago got pulled coming out of CA or AZ for not pulling in with his 45' 5th camper. not much happened just a lecture and sure pissed him off.lol

he called me and read me the riot act. "Why didn't yo warn me?" lol shoot I didn't know either.

 

It is a class 8, large sleeper and extended frame with a little deck on the back end, I can put my pickup on it with a little hangover.

I know of a few like it, one guy bought near new (at the time) KW, extended the frame, put an apartment sleeper on it with I think a 14 foot deck on the back that he hauls a car around on or if he is going to rough it, he puts his hot tub on the truck and camps out.
