RV Weights & Licencing

Permits operation and towing of an RV up to 11,000 kg “combined vehicle   weight” (car/truck & RV), for personal use, with a “G” Licence and an optional RV Safety Towing Checklist/test and identification card (for enforcement and insurance clarification). The latter is available through any participating ORVDA RV dealer in Ontario. (Ontario Regulation 340/94)

With this card, you identify yourself as having completed an over-weight RV test/questionnaire.

The card confirms that your RV, if applicabale, falls within the 11,000kg. (24,250lbs) combined (tow vehicle and towed vehicle) category. Most tow vehicles fall within the 4,500kg (9,900lbs) range.

Now you are identified as being registered to tow an RV weighing up to 6,500kg (14,325lbs).

If your combined tow vehicle and towed vehicle weigh more than 11,000kg. an “A” licence is required.

This card validates travel in most State and Provincial jurisdictions that have a reciprocity agreement with Ontario.
