Total Turnpike vehicle weight limit is 90,000lbs - you’re exceeding the single axle limits. Axle limits are: 21,000 single; 24,000 tandem with less than 4’ spread (12,000/axle); 34,000 tandem with 4’ to 8’ spread (17,000/axle). Anything over those limits require a special permit. There are no separate “rules” for RVs. My guess is that supervisors either have special instructions for RVs or are deciding it’s not worth the traffic hassles to get you off the road.
BTW, Turnpike makes its own rules; they’re not bound by OHDOT weight/length/permit “guidelines” which allow 29,000 lbs single axle weights. It’s all about the money!

P.S. My single axle Wanderlodge M380 is also too heavy for the Turnpike - fortunately, I don’t need to go that way.
EDIT: IN & PA have 22,400 lbs single axle limits on their Turnpikes, so you also exceed their max axle weight.
