CAT Scale weights are confusing me.

It was loaded except for my wife who was inside the office. But the numbers I quoted were the numbers off the CAT scale tickets plus her weight of 120#. At first I was splitting the weight 50-50 but a more realistic estimate is probably 60 front and 40 rear. The front seat is a lot closer to the front axle than the rear axle.

Maximum allowed tonge-weight in America is as far a I know 15% so this 15.5% would not give problems when weighed by police , I think.
And indeed this is when you would weigh the tonge off the TV with a device.
So this is the weight when WDH is disabled.

See what a treasure of information this weighing gives, so I agree with RCMAN46.
And you also did it the right way.
But it can be better , by weighing per axle-end in all the different situations.
Would though also give more measuring differences by the inacuracy of the scale.
And did you weigh with all the persons in the car?, Otherwise you could yust estimate that one person , what effect it has on weights on front and rear, by the place he/she sits. Again some inacuracy it gives.
But for instance to determine the needed tirepressure, it is acurate enaugh, because you then always have to add a percentage to the weighed loads for R/L unbalance, and pressure-loss in time, etc.
As "pigheaded Dutch Selfdeclared tirepressure-speialist" I then can help you , but need also tire-specifications.
