If you are in a fatal accident, they can always impound the truck and RV and weigh it. They could then look at tire weight ratings and condition, brake condition, axle ratings, registration, and the "sticker" on the vehicle itself, etc... and go from there. Will they? No clue. The place I worked for - if the investigator thought overloading could have been a cause of the accident or death they would and have... And thinking you could be smart and remove the sticker won't necessarily work either.

Other things they will do is pull the trucks computer and your cell phone records. And if the police don't, your insurance company probably will. (ours did in our case even though the police did not)

Just my .02. I bet way less than 1% of the population goes through this and that is good thing.
Ant the worst thing that could happen is that you where found to be at falt, and your insurance company would have to pay.

Uhm, the worst thing that could happen is vehicular homicide or manslaughter. If they could prove negligence on your part. Like showing a jury this thread. Cross your fingers they let insurance companies fight it out.

Yup, it's about way more than money and things.
