There is a new drivers licence class in Ontario..
http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dan.../classalic.htm
its a A class(Commercial truck driver) with an "R" restriction for the RV driver.........basically its the same test as the Truck Driver takes and same Medical.......but you are only able to tow an RV and not drive a Tractor trailer.......the weight restrictions that separate the ordinary Driver licence (a "G" class) from a Commercial Drivers licence ("A") has not changed (10125 lbs) from prior years... I have a "G" licence and may have to upgrade to the "A".....before I do I will weigh my units at the scales and then make the decision based on the weights....for now I ask this question?????..........my RV weighs as per the permit 9830 lbs.....and when I put my "stuff" in there I am sure we will be over the restriction limit by a few pounds...Packing and storing intelligently will help me keep it down... once I attach to the truck the weight of the trailer does not change but the distribution of that weight does..... The pin weight is 2100 lbs which goes onto the trucks weight.....Does this mean that.....the weight of the trailer has now reduced to 7730 lbs????? or more simply.....whatever the trailer weighed would be reduced by the pin weight?????? and thus,,,putting my towed weight well below the 10125 lb maximum of my licence???????
