Well this is getting complicated! :) I do suspect the totals don't match--look at the side by sides EG. You get some of the other side's weight with just one side on the scale in the case where I was doing it. Not sure if the roadside was higher or lower than the scale platform, so can't help with that now. I just figure nothing was too drastic to worry about with the numbers I got.
I would like to get this MH on one of those really big scales that can weigh it all, to then know the truth about my weight wrt GVWR.
There is no likelihood I will be pulled over and checked, so I will not sweat the rules as such. I am so close at maybe 440 lbs over 11,000 I feel safe enough using my own brain if that is any use :)
Interesting about the Ride-Rites. I have the manual for them and some bulletins from 1986 (so maybe these are original equipment in 1991?), so that is where I got the idea they need checking so often. I will give it all some time and miles and see how it goes. I figure they are there for a reason, so I better not do anything rash just yet.
Anybody see anything peculiar in my results at the scales? Are all Class Cs like this? I did see the other thread running now on a shorter one, where a comment was made that they are usually heavy at the back.
