Thanks for explaining. I sort of expected it was a pickup. I've known several people who have bought rvs far too large for their pickups. Including two of my brothers. LOL And I've worked construction all my life and pickups (and other trucks) are commonly overloaded, sometimes severely to the point of smoking brakes. I even did it in my younger, stupider, days. Never smoking brakes but some handling issues. So the cops would be be more vigilant about them.Was an f350 towing a 5th wheel. When i bought the f350 i registered it at a higher weight class than i needed for normal use thinking i would be covered. No one could tell me how it worked and the info wasnt as easy to find as it is today. I talked to the dmv, car dealer, rv dealer, and friends that towed large rvs and no one knew.
The state police saw the weight sticker on the truck windshield, size of the rv, and guessed i had the wrong weight sticker. No weights were exceeded but it cost me a lot of money because of the wrong number on the weight sticker. I had to reregister the truck and get a new title cause they listed the registered weight on the title
Nothing changed except the number on the windshield sticker and the amount i paid to the dmv every year
But I figure the class a and c are not overloaded as much. Yes, they can be but I doubt it's any near as common.
