Who weighs?

I have had this motorhome for 8 years and have never weighed it. I just kept a certain pressure in the tires. I know this goes against the grain to some on here. I just want to see how many of you actually weigh your rig and adjust air pressure accordingly and how many just keep their tires aired to a given pressure.

    I weigh often...usually every fourth fill up. You'd be surprised at what you pick up during your travels. Of course, we full time. When we were not, I'd weigh at the start of the season and at the end. I keep my tires aired up accordingly.......Dennis

    Have weighted each coach we have had-- individual wheel position weights.

    Only way to accurately determine tire pressure.

    The correct PSI for our tires per Michelin inflation tables is 70 or 105 depending on load. That is WAY too large a range to guess at.

    I did it one time. Why do it anymore? It is what it is. It should be done with a full load of fuel and water.

    I've weighed all four corners. Driver front side much heavier than passenger side. An "axle only" weight would have resulted in incorrect tire pressure calculation.

    I have done it twice, four corners, both times at an RV gathering.

    I have weighed the 4 wheel positions to better determine the proper tire pressure. I was heavy on one side and repositioned some items to even up.
