Because some states tax by total vehicle weight and have an active state DOT patrol with individual wheel scales. Here in SC, the first time I registered my dually they told me I had to register it with its GCWR and told me it was 22,000#. I showed them the truck had 4.10 gearing and they raised it to 23,500# and that figure is on the trucks registration form.
When declaring GCWR during the vehicle registration process a special tag is issued. When towing an RV without that tag you'll be very lucky if you're not pulled before you get out of SC.
