The list of exemptions along with several others, mostly agriculture related, stated not required for personal rv use.
But depending on who you talk to it just muddies to water more. I wish they would simply state what's required without 1/2 page of exemptions, same for everyone.

PS
I'm sure if pulled over, regardless of the state your in, your weights &/or what the requirements are will be completely up to the LEO on the scene. If driving eradically or something equally as dangerous like towing a 40' TH with a Tacoma, I would think these could get you pulled over & possibly weighed. Other than that I wouldn't think there'd be any reason to pull you over or weigh you.
