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,...

So after looking at the Catscale link for weighing 5th wheels, it appears scale 2 give you the weight on the rear tires, what does this weight mean?
You need to compare that weight with the axle loading information given on your door pillar to make sure you are within specifications for the truck. That weight includes part of the weight from the tongue of the trailer.
You can use that weight to determine if you are overloading the rear axle and may have to move some stuff out of the truck bed or re-arrange some loading of the trailer. Since you are not using weight distribution with your trailer, if you get a weight of the truck alone, you can also determine the exact tongue or pin weight of the trailer.
