Another reason to always use as much possible reserve .
If you weigh per wheel by driving over scale with only for instance l right side and besides it ( where the left wheels drive over) is lower placed ( or higher) then you dont stop and go somewhere else, you are happy then you found a scale.
You will then have to do with the inacuracy .
Lower besides scale means to low weight given and higher besides scale means to high weight given, and it depends on the hight of the gravity point of the vehicle, and the level difference .
You could get an idea of howmuch inacuracy, if you estimat the level difference and asume a Hight of total gravity point of about 3 feet for a motorhome.
Same happens though by the roadcurve , right side a bit lower then left side. ( in UK where left driving the other way around).
Once made a picture , dont mind the Dutch text, the picture will make it clear enaugh for you. Totaal zwaartepunt = total gravity point, and Rechts is Right and Links is Left.
