Longtrace, I am not so concerned about the weight / rig or I would do as you suggest and weigh somehow before leaving. We took the same set up to Florida Keys in April with no problems ( about 1800 miles total ). This will be a shorter trip. Only time we experienced any issues in April was with a stiff cross wind and 18 wheelers going by...we just slowed down a bit then and all was ok. Oddly enough the 18 wheelers that affected us most seemed to be the car haulers not the big boxes, wonder if anyone else has that experience. Anyway, this is our second longer trip and I want to weigh fully loaded to see where we actually are weight wise. See how close my guess is to actual.
Oaklevel..thanks for the cat website info. Interesting read. I searched and the closest one to my home is about 50 miles.
Will find one of these or use the ones NC Hauler gave me.
