You have to stop going in because of the veggie/fruit problem. They don't allow certain veg/fruit or plants into the state. I just completed a X-Country trip with my 5th wheel, and nothing was said about it, only the produce.

> My question is do I have to stop at weight stations or point of entry stations
If you are not required to have a DOT # on the side of the truck, I would not stop. Especially with a vehicle I own.

Even in CA I believe the actual wiegh stations have a sign that reads "NO PICKUPS". Could have changed, I havent been down there for about 2 years. Even when I had a full ICC authority running my f350 dually I never stopped at a CA wiegh station just because of that sign.

If you're just hauling your car with your pickup/trailer, you will not need to stop for any weigh station in CA.
You will be asked to toss any fruits or veggies due to pest control statutes to protect agriculture.
These might help:
CA DMV: www.dmv.ca.gov
CHP: www.CHP.ca.gov
