Where To Weigh MH Near Raleigh, NC

We are getting ready to leave on a none month trip to Alaska and home down the Pacific Coast and Southern tier of state.

I want to weigh all four corners to check weight distribution and the two scales I called said the best they could do was weigh the front and then the back.

Does anyone know any scales where I can weigh each corner independently within an hour or so of Raleigh?

  • Thanks all. I went to Love's on 95 exit 77. I got it by axel and the toad too. We're under weight on all axels. I wasn't able to get the sides weighed due to space limitations.

    There is a Flying J in Graham (I-85/I-40 Exit 150) that has scales/area large enough to drive on scales with just one side of rig.

    First get a full weigh...front axle on front platform/rear axle on rear platform
    Then drive onto platforms with just one side of RV tires on each platform.

    Subtract that weigh numbers from first total and you will have opposite side weights.

    About 1 hr drive from Raleigh......IF the scales closer to Raleigh don't have physical room/or rails on platforms that would not allow driving on with only one side of tires.axles

    CAT Scales closer to Raleigh....call and check



    You don't even need to do that at the truck scales

    They are set up to weigh front axle --Drive axles --and trailer!!

    so you park it where you weigh what you want to weigh --say the front axle on one set of scales the rear axle on another set of scales --and that gives you --they print out for you front axle weight ,rear axle weight ,total weight--- just that simple

    professional drivers do it all the time
