Here in Ohio the Official "weight police" are a branch of the Ohio State Patrol. I do not recall the exact title but it is something like Motor carrier enforcement division and they are only concerned with commerical vehicles and commerical drivers. They are the same folks who inspect school buses every year and being a school bus driver for many years we have had some interesting conversation with them. No they do not check Rv's for weight as RV's do not fall under commerical vehicles however they can stop a RV for "Unsafe conditions , broken trail light, etc and once they do it is open season.
As for me a charter member of the so called forum "weight police" I simply believe that operating within the ratings and specs of the truck and camper is a wise and safe thing to do so I do and would recommend to anyone who askes to do the same..

Weight advisors....I like that..
