So, assuming this is marketed at happy homeowners who tow a trailer, how often would you actually use it? Do you guys weigh your setup before every trip to see if the wife snuck in too many cans of beans and put you over payload?
Seems like 1 and done unless you’re overly ocd or change trailers.
Might be overly OCD.
The time I towed with a full water tank, I reweighed.
After I moved my trailer axle to below the springs, I reweighed.
I removed my spare tire from the rear rack and put it under the front bed, reweighed.
The Haulgauge weighs both overall weight, tongue weight AND weights levered by the WDH.
So once you get your baseline specs, I only reweigh for a significant change.
Of course, I’ve only camped ONCE in the past two years, between Covid BS and other significant health issues.
AFAICT, if I leave the unit installed, my remote start frequently doesn’t work. So I no longer leave it installed in the OBD jack.
