Ok well my thoughts are to get it as close as possible before taking the Dodge truck that carries my Lance 900 on its back & has a 43 or so I forget extension hitch attached before taking it to a truck scale that I do have close by.
I do have a trailer tongue weight scale & so this should allow me to pretty much do it without visiting the truck scales yet I do plane to anyways to check the overall weights to make sure my suspension is good to handle it all & I suspect I'll be just within the limits?
I'm thinking of maybe placing the tongue weight scale under the foot of the trailer whiles its all hooked up to the dodge.
Then moving the Bronco back & forth safely while it connected to the heavier tow rig & then when the hooked up weights look good hooked up, then maybe disconnecting it from the tow rig to let it sit 100% on the tongue weight scale & see what happens?
Yet wonder if thats not how to do it being the actually weight that counts its while its hooked up?????
