I sure see an awful lot of big pushers up there though. But I can't find any relief for motorhomes, at least in the RM atlas.

Guess we'll stay in the US then as our front axle weight is just overy 18,000 on the front. Even our '02 DSDP was over 13,200.

The document is not clear however, if the limits are based on the actual axle weights while under way or are they the GAWR of each axle.

Thanks Ron. Looks like that MOU states 7250kg on the front which will be fine. That's probably because there are provinces where that is the legal weight. I don't pull into any mandatory weigh stations, but was just wondering if there was an accident if it might be an issue. Thanks again.
