A kilogram isn't a measurement of weight, it's a measurement of mass
What unit would the SI like us to use for weight?

Don’t need to, when the guy who knows it’s not the kg is here.

The kilogram was redefined in 2019 so that ...the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h is 6.62607015×10−34 when expressed in the unit J⋅s, which is equal to kg⋅m2⋅s−1, where the metre and the second are defined in terms of c and ... thus the kilogram is the mass of a body at rest whose equivalent energy equals the energy of a collection of photons whose frequencies sum to 1.356392489652×10^50 hertz...

I'm sure we all know how c and ΔνCs are worked out.

Then why is the stated Gross WEIGHT of my motorhome 3850 KG? ☺
Is it because there is an assumption you wont be taking it to another planet ?
