Rest easy, the scales you see on the Interstate are not for RV's, only commercial vehicles.
The scales being referred to here are the ones you voluntarily go to, usually at a truck stop so you can get the "real numbers" of your set up the way you have it loaded for camping. The sticker weights for the trailer are dry weight and pin weight with no load. Once you load up all your gear you'll want to get it weighed so you know what your actual load and balance is.
Knowledge is good and can make for a much more comfortable ride.
