See if anyone in the area has individual wheel scales and will let you rent or use them then weight it at home.
Thats a great idea...I just wish I new some people here in eastern North Carolina that had some scales. About the only people that may have them in this area are people that are into racing or have a performance shop maybe?
The nearest CAT scale is 21 miles away if I drive straight through town and about 25 miles if I take the back roads and avoid going through town. I asked DMV about getting a transport tag to drive it there and back and they said they would only give me a temporary tag for getting it inspected and I would have to insure it. I already know it wont pass inspection yet as the tail light wiring is hacked and it has a temporary set of lights plugged into the trailer connector. I wasn't planning on registering it until next spring.
Thank you to all who have replied. I'm just going to drive it to the scale one day next week and get an exact weight. I just want to figure out how much weight it loses after I put it on a diet. Hoping to get the Onan MicroQuiet 4000 generator running this coming weekend and also test out the heater and all appliances before I remove them. I am planning on reinstalling the Attwood heater, Coleman A/C, and Onan generator when I am done with the rebuild but the holding tanks, stove, fridge, water heater, refrigerator, and all the bathroom stuff are not going back in.
