Just drive by and see if anyone stops you I seriously doubt they will.
It looks like it depends on the state:

Interesting how vague some of the rules are in that link.
Asked a DMV enforcer in my home state(Vt) if I was supposed to stop -"only if I transported product across state lines"
I've driven Thirsty(10,000# gvw P30, Vermont plates) through all the E coast states and a few more -never pulled into a weigh station, did get waved over in N. Carolina by a trooper- asked if it were registered commercial - took my word that it was not and wished me a good day.

I don't stop at them with my Kurbmaster as I have never seen another RV at any of them, I have single wheels, and I am the same weight as a 1 ton pickup truck. I won' t be reading this thread anymore as I prefer to remain ignorant so I don't have to lie.

When I was a kid, physically not mentally (thats a different thread), my dad owned an old cattle truck we used to carry our 10 horses, all our gear, siblings dogs etc every camp trip. We almost always got pulled over somewhere for skipping the scales and had to explain that it was an RV. But aside from odd situations like that, I've never had an issue with scale houses. Of course, I haven't travelled into Kalifornistan either, so will bow to those there knowing the situation better.
