How to weight
More just a general question. I don't have any specific concerns, just wondering how to do... I have an 2013 f150 3.5 Ecoboost with Maxtow package. Got a 2015 Starcraft 18BH. Everything tows fine,...

No WD on the trailer for me so two passes it is.
When you say pads, I am not sure what this refers to. You specify the 3 pads, are those just weighed separately by having the appropriate axles on the scale, or are the scales actual broke into segments and show different reads somehow?
Never used a scale before so its all new.
Many thanks,
Mike

3 passes with 3 pads for the scale tells you almost everything you need to know if you have a WDH 2 passes is enough without WDH. TW and TW% can be calculated with those numbers. And you'll know where tou stand with respect to all your truck's ratings (Axle, GVWR, GCWR, receiver).

Truck with trailer without WD
Truck with Trailer with WD
The 3 pads are truck front axle, truck rear axle, and TT axles together if more than 1.
TW is calculated by subtracting truck front axle + truck rear axle weights empty from truck front axle + truck rear axle with tongue on ball (no WD).
