Where to start? I have much the same coach, just older.
I think you can get your side to side weights better by adjusting the ride heights on the dive axle as the other two axle are 180 out. On perfectly level ground is the coach perfectly level or measuring from the ground up to the exact same point on both side is it the exact same distance? Are the steel plates on the drive axle air bags the exact same distance on all four airbags... 9.5" I think? Not sure of your floor plan but I'm very close to balanced side to side.
While your front tires are capable of more weight I'm not sure your front axle is and I agree that 2000 lbs more on the tag (a 10 psi increase) will put 325 on the front, but why?
I thought by 09 Monaco had moved the fuel tank further back to shift some weight off the front.
With those weights are you running 110/85/75 in your tires front to back
Being off center on the scale is not going to change the reading but if the coach is leaning a fair amount it will. The next time you weigh put the other side off the scale and see what you get. The OR scales I've used are very close to the same elevation as the pavement besides it.
