USA emissions testing ???
Hypothetically, If a person lives where there is no testing (ie Alberta, Canada), but hopes to travel all over USA and Canada. If he were to remove some parts from his truck would there be anything to worry about as he travelled (while towing a 14,000# fifth wheel). Driving responsibly, no black smoke, etc
Essentially - is there enforcement for out of state/province personal vehicles? Would a person need to pull into weigh scales for inspections while towing a personal fifth wheel that heavy?
Thanks

You shouldn't have any issues.
Many here will try and scare you into not removing parts. Lots of scare comments with zero proof to backup the claims. For those people its the, I don't want you too so im going to try and force change on everyone else to fit my ideology & world by any means necessary.
Im sure your familiar with this up in Canada.

And plastic straws. They have shoot-to-kill orders if you're caught with a bag of straws. They just leave your carcass on the side of the road as a warning to others.

No you don't. Not in FL. Roll past like the other thousands of RVs do every day.

Most states its a combination of either exceeding 25,999lbs GCWR for truck and trailer or towing a trailer in excess of 10,001lbs GCWR. Its not just California, I know New Mexico, Colorado, Oregon and Washington are also highly sensitive areas and I have had to stop. The signs in New Mexico do say Rental Trucks and RV's must stop.

Well, that's good news.
It's been a while since I passed one of them in Florida, but I was sure the sign said "all trailers".
Just looked it up and that's what is says, "camping vehicles are exempt."
Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
