Help Deciphering CAT Scale Weights
Hi all, New to the forum, and to RVing. I want to make sure my WDH is adjusted properly. I took my rig and travel trailer (TT) to the scales this past weekend and did three passes: first was hooked...

I'm confused how you lost 20 pounds completely using WDH bars (14,140 compared to 14,160 for the other two weight rating passes).
I will assume the OP used a CAT scale.
CAT scale weights are in 20 lb multiples. If you look at the OP's weights they are in 20 lb multiples.
I checked several of my CAT scale receipts and they were all in 20 lb multiples.
I also checked some weights I got at my local garbage transfer station and they were also in 20 lb multiples.
Thus a difference of 20 lbs on separate weights can be expected.
That tells me the scales aren't calibrated. It shouldn't matter. A 20 pound increment transferred from one scale to a different scale because of a weight distribution system doing what they're supposed to do doesn't make the weight just disappear. it should take that 20 pounds from one scale and it should show up on another scale.
