Will you believe an RV dearlship?
According to Gillette's Interstate RV,
If you’re headed down the highway with your RV in tow, you may see a weigh station and wonder if you are required to stop. The short answer to this is no, you do not have to stop at a weigh station. A weigh station is only for commercial vehicles that are hauling freight. Weigh stations make sure that trucks are not overloaded, as this is not only dangerous but it can cause damage to the roads from being too heavy. If you are worried about your RV’s weight and want to make sure that you’re not overloaded, you can pull into a weigh station and get weighed, but it’s not required.
If you happen to see a sign that says RVs must be weighed, or an officer is directing you to pull in, it’s probably best that you go ahead and do it. There may be a specific reason at that time or for that particular stretch of road and you don’t want to end up with fines. Otherwise, keep chugging down the road and happy trails!
