Rig Sleds (The Trailer Thread)

Not sure where you're getting the 10,000 lbs from. It goes by gross capacity, and I think 26,500lbs is the limit. This means your truck + triple axle 8 lug or tandem duals = no class C unless you had the trailer under-rated. Of note here is that the actual load does not matter. There are exemptions for farmers, they get a much higher load. There are also exemptions for RVs, huge 5th wheel behind a F450 is OK. Huge bus style RV doesn't require a special license. I would think this exemption would also apply to your small motorhome pulling klogger. You are still not allowed to be overloaded, which is based on the rated capacity of truck and trailer, or what you license them for, whichever is lower.
