I found this on another forum and I thought I would post it here. If I am reading this correctly, major change in the way RV's are registered in PA.

Here's the big change
§ 4942. Registered gross weight.
* * *
(c) Combination.--No combination containing a trailer having a gross weight or registered gross weight in excess of 10,000 pounds shall be operated with a gross weight in excess of the registered gross weight of the truck or truck tractor for a combination. This subsection shall not apply to a combination of vehicles consisting of a motor vehicle towing a recreational trailer or recreational cargo trailer, registered as such, as long as the combination weight does not exceed the sum of the manufacturer's rated axle capacities or the gross combination weight rating, whichever is less.
If I am reading this correctly, we will no longer have to register for combination plates if the RV trailer is over 10K GVW as described by the traditional truck/combination PA weight classes. This will save RV'rs tons of money over the previous regulations.
