Whilst it may be rare in practice it would be more than a little inconvenient to be stuck in a compound or lay bye miles from home and having to unload stuff to become legal.
DVSA do have targeted operations and caravans and and motorhomes are sometimes the target of these.
I have driven LGV's in the UK for over 40 years and been weighed around 6/7 times and in the days before the fixed penalties it cost me over £600( **** magistrates) for an 11% overload on the front axle of a 7.5 tonner 'dangerously overloaded' according to VOSA, apparently not so dangerous now.
I had to spend 10 minutes moving around 20 cartons to the back to correct the overload.
